Assignment #11:
New Socratic Discussion Questions
Inspirational Leadership in Henry V (Olivier) Act IV
Read Olivier Act 4 and answer the following questions:
1. Think of a difficult situation at work. What does your “Royal face” look like? (p.134-5)
When is the ability to act differently from what you feel or even what you believe
as a leader the right thing to do, and when is it really just dishonest? What makes
the difference?
“It is not your job to ‘go over the top ‘ first, it is your job to look inside, check
you are doing the right thing, and that you are the right person to be doing it. If
you as a leader are able to go into the fears, doubts and uncertainties, and survive
them, you will be able to reconnect to the vision that brought you into this now
seemingly impossible-to-achieve mission in the first place. If you can do that you
will be able to inspire the troops. This is winning the inner battle ….. “(p.142)
But in the movies, the good general always leads the charge. Is Olivier right
about this? Is the ‘inner battle’ really that important to the outcome?
Later in the program you will be working with a mentor. Have you ever had a
mentor before this? Describe your experience. If not, what are your expectations?
To what extent can a new leader keep up old acquaintances? Is it necessary to
distance yourself from former co-workers if you become a supervisor? What has
been your experience with this dynamic – either as a new leader, an “old acquaintance” or merely an observer?
Re-read the section on Distinguishing between Duty and Soul on page 149. How
do you react to Olivier’s explanation of the channel bridge example? Is it reality, or is it an excuse?
Share an example of a leader you know, or have read about, who shows personal loyalty to his/her people as Henry does (p.165).
8.. Can you personally reconcile Henry’s killing of the prisoners (p. 170-172). Explain how you can, or cannot.
Re-read Olivier’s contemporary example of this on page 172-3. What do you make of this issue in light of this example?
Choose a position on any of the questions for this week that you do not agree with, and make the best argument you can for that position.
