Abstract
In the last few decades, we have witnessed the inclusion of Literature in a variety of disciplines. University disciplines have started strengthening their syllabi in this direction. Robert Brawer states: “The values and insights we glean from serious literature sensitize us to ourselves and, by extension, to the problems inherent in managing people in an organization” (2000, 2). Literature is also popular in Leadership Studies and Business Management classroom because stories or storytelling method is immensely appreciated for being didactic. This paper argues that a single disciplinary approach fails to address a literary tradition and canon in Leadership Studies. It focuses on inclusion of Literature into the discipline. The first part deals with a short introduction on the inclusion of Literature in Leadership studies followed by how Shakespearean texts can be used as case studies to teach leadership issues.
