Skilful Influence - Lessons from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar

Using power and influence effectively is a key attribute of skilful communication. Some people avoid organisational politics on principle, others use it unhelpfully to further selfish ambition. Wise school leaders and teachers balance unavoidable organisational dilemmas with integrity.

Drawing lessons from four diverse leaders in Shakespeare’s political masterpiece – Caesar, Brutus, Cassius and Mark Antony – we explore the nature of the politics that can be a spoken or unspoken reality in all organisations, including schools.

We examine how to build and mobilise a successful coalition, how to identity the sources of power for us and against us and how best to influence others. Participants will deepen their understanding of both the elements of influence and influencing skills.
