25: Governance, Leadership, and Founder's Syndrome
What story does an institution tell about itself?
To whom does a governance structure and its leadership serve?
To what degree are leaders within a governing institution subject
or exempt to the rules of the governed?
We use this framework to discuss the unexpected announcement of Richard

Content warning: depression and sexual harassment are both mentioned
in this episode.
