Abstract
It has been a common myth that literature interests us only in childhood and adolescent age. As we progress in our lives in terms of age, literature loses its impact and charm. The stress of challenges for survival and growth, intricacy in relations, lifestyle and time-crunch keep us away from the spell of literature. However, this belief cannot ignore the intrinsic values that literary pages offer us almost in each walk of life. From childhood fairy-tales, adolescent love stories and romantic poetries to stories of family revenge and soreness of separation, each theme and each genre of literature has taught and continues teaching the art of personal and professional management of affairs. The present paper tries to highlight the relevance of Shakespearean plays to the study of management. The paper attempts to read some very popular texts and then analyzes how these texts offer us some management insights.

The words in various works are powerful tools that can teach us to mould our attitude, behavior and mindset. Let us take some famous examples to reinforce the point.
