All TEC Day 2008
 | TEC was proud to present Richard Olivier’s Courageous Leadership to members and their guests at the 2008 All TEC Day. Through his mastery of Shakespeare, Richard used the tale of Macbeth to vivify the increasingly critical team building responsibilities of the leader in our exploration of the Role of the Chief Executive.

Richard told the story with dramatic effect, highlighting the challenges faced by key characters within this fascinating case study. TEC’s journey into the Role of the Chief Executive began in 2005 when Dan Wertenberg identified three distinct roles for successful chief executives. In 2006 Jack Daly addressed the role of the Chief Sales Officer, and in 2007 Oren Harari took us into the role of the Chief Strategist. We were fortunate to have Richard Olivier conclude our series with his dynamic look at the courageous leader’s crucial role in developing team and culture to drive ethical and sustainable success within the organisation. | |
 |  Richard Olivier is Artistic Director of Olivier Mythodrama - a unique leadership development consultancy. The son of Sir Laurence Olivier and Joan Plowright, Richard grew up surrounded by examples of creativity amidst the renowned actors of the past two generations. He was a leading theatre director for more than 10 years and directed Henry V for the opening of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London in 1997. In 1999 he was appointed Master of Mythodrama at the Globe, a role he filled until 2005. Richard has worked extensively in the fields of Organisational and Personal Development, and his work today is at the leading edge of bringing the world of theatre into the development of authentic leaders. |  | Richard Olivier delivered powerful insights into the behaviours that can make or break individuals and organisations with Macbeth, Shakespeare’s greatest psychological thriller.Through Macbeth he examined shadow leadership potentials and how to identify excessive and dangerous behaviours in both ourselves and others - before derailment becomes inevitable. Through the lesser known Malcolm, Richard explored the development of quiet, courageous leadership and how we can become generative leaders, creating meaning for our individual ‘kingdoms’ and hope for our collective future. As the founding voice of Mythodrama - a form of experiential learning which combines great stories with psychological insights, Richard’s creative exercises and organisational development techniques explored the issues faced by modern leaders. |
