Abstract

Our interest in the performance of leadership started almost ten years ago when a freelance theatre director called Kate Sinclair agreed to run some experiential sessions for participants on a leadership development programme that the first author was co-leading with Huw Richards and Deborah Davidson for senior managers in health and social care agencies in the North-West of England. Based on a combination of techniques used to build actors into theatre companies alongside voice and body work, they transpired not only to be highly enjoyable but were always reported as being helpful to participants in developing their leadership capability. They became - and remain - a highly regarded feature of all our subsequent programmes.
