Exercise Overview

Diagnostic skills enable a manager to visualize the most

appropriate response to a situation. This exercise shows

how they can be useful when a manager must decide

which type of power is most appropriate in different

situations.



Exercise Background

William Shakespeare’s play Henry V, which was per-

formed for the first time in 1599, explores the themes

of war, leadership, brotherhood, and treachery in a way

that remains relevant today. The play contains the

famous “St. Crispin’s Day” speech that, despite its

brevity, many people, Shakespearean scholars and non-

experts alike, regard as one of the most inspiring

speeches ever written.

First, we need to set the scene: In 1415, England,

under the leadership of King Henry IV, has invaded

France to regain control of some disputed lands. Bear

in mind that, to Shakespeare’s audience, the legitimacy

of Henry’s claim makes both his cause and his war

“just.” Having won several hard-fought battles, the

English army of 6,000 has marched from the coast

into the interior of France and is encamped outside

the French town of Agincourt. At this point in the

campaign, they are sick, cold, hungry, and dispirited,

and to make matters worse, they face an army of

25,000 well-rested, well-equipped soldiers and armored

knights on horseback. Through a combination of cour-

age, strategy, and plain luck, they win one of history’s

most renowned battles, losing only 200 men while

inflicting more than 5,000 casualties on the enemy.

The short scene in which Henry delivers his

St. Crispin’s Day speech occurs just before the Battle

of Agincourt. Henry’s officers are understandably dis-

heartened and fearful of the coming battle, and Henry

must motivate them. That’s the purpose of his St. Crispin’s

Day speech.

Exercise Task

Read the transcript of the speech that your professor

will provide you. Then answer the following questions:

1.

What types of power does Henry exert in this

speech? Give specific examples of each type.

2.

It is interesting that Henry had been a notoriously

wayward youth before turning his life around and

living up to his royal responsibilities. In what ways

might knowledge of his past tend to increase or

decrease his referent power?



3.

In Shakespeare’s play, of course, Henry’s speech

inspires his soldiers to almost impossible victory.

You may or may not find it inspiring, but you

should be able to see why audiences have long

praised it as sufficiently stirring to account for

such an improbable achievement. What elements

of the speech do the most to make it inspirational?

If you find the speech inspiring, explain why. If

you don’t, explain why not.
