In this episode of Crown of Control, Dr. Cathrine Frost examines how moral certainty transforms into destructive leadership through the arc of Daenerys Targaryen. Beginning as a liberator and reformer, Daenerys grounds her authority in justice and purpose, building loyalty through vision and personal sacrifice. But as resistance increases and affirmation narrows, conviction hardens into intolerance for dissent. The episode explores how leaders who believe they are right can become insulated from challenge—and how systems struggle to intervene when power is fused with moral identity. If Crown of Control is helping you see how conviction can both inspire and endanger, subscribe and rate the podcast five stars. It helps this conversation travel further.
