About this episode

Carol Ann examines Shakespeare's King Lear as a cautionary tale about leadership and power.

In this episode of the Royals, Rebels, and Romantics Leadership Series, Carol Ann examines Shakespeare's King Lear as a cautionary tale.

Not surprisingly, everything falls apart. Carol Ann Lloyd TEDx talk: 3 Leadership Secrets from Shakespeare @shakeuphistory https://carolannlloyd.com/ https://patreon.com/carolannlloyd https:...
