Leadership, ethics, and authority (Leigh Hafrey) |
- How is Diana, alive or dead, a problem for Queen Elizabeth?
- What does Tony Blair have to teach the queen, and she him? What values do the two of them espouse, and where do their convictions meet?
- How would you describe Diana's power, in Britain and around the world?
- Have you encountered people like Sir Thomas More—or Henry VIII, or Cromwell, or Rich—in your work? How do they function as colleagues? What is their sense of their profession?
- Can one speak of multiple spheres in the world Bolt portrays in A Man for All Seasons? If so, does each have its own rules or morals, or do the inhabitants of all of them apply the same standards to their behavior?
- "Affection goes as deep in me as you think, but only God is love right through, Howard; and that's myself (p. 122)." What is a "self" in Bolt's play, and what roles does it play for all of us in society and in our organizations?
