Bringing Drama to the MBA

Many of you who are in business school know that there is ample drama just in dealing with the various personalities on your teams or the broader class. Apparently some programs believe that students should go beyond witnessing drama - and should instead master it.

MIT, for instance, offers a course called "EnActing Leadership: Shakespeare and Performance," where students form a theater company to put on a performance of Hamlet.

The objective is to train students to project well, even under high-pressure circumstances.

The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth offers a drama-related class, "Communicating with Presence," that teaches breathing techniques, among other things.

A great article on these courses can be found here.
