British History: Royals, Rebels, and Romantics

Power, Praise, and Pressure: How King Lear Gets it Wrong (ep 248)


Listen Later

In this episode of the Royals, Rebels, and Romantics Leadership Series, Carol Ann examines Shakespeare's King Lear as a cautionary tale. Instead of behaving as a leader, Lear behaves as a bully, grasping for power and control. He treats leadership as a transaction, attempting to exchange power for praise. Not surprisingly, everything falls apart.
