Crown of Control explores how power really works at work. Season 1 uses Game of Thrones as a cultural lens to examine leadership, silence, and control. Through narrative analysis and real-world insight, each episode reveals how authority is maintained, how compliance is learned, and how systems quietly teach people what is safe to say, when to speak, and when to stay silent, often without ever giving direct instructions.

    The Cost of Integrity

    In this episode of Crown of Control, Dr. Cathrine Frost uses Jon Snow to examine what happens when integrity remains constant but the system around it changes. Through duty, leadership, and withdrawal, the episode explores how clarity and honesty are first rewarded, then quietly reframed as disruptive when pressure rises and accountability becomes uneven. It asks why organisations protect order over consistency—and why those who carry risk often pay the highest price.

    The Spider's Web

    In this episode of Crown of Control, Dr. Cathrine Frost uses Littlefinger to examine how power operates when it stays deliberately out of sight. Rather than issuing commands or owning decisions, Littlefinger shapes outcomes through timing, information, and positioning, making influence feel natural and inevitable. Through chaos, court politics, and quiet alignment, the episode explores how organisations respond not to authority, but to who controls context, momentum, and what becomes thinkable long before a decision is made.

    Fear of the Tongue

    In this episode of Crown of Control, Dr. Cathrine Frost uses Tyrion Lannister to explore what happens when speaking carries risk at work. Unable to rely on silence or neutrality, Tyrion learns to read how power moves, who can be ignored cheaply, whose concerns provoke action, and whose are quietly contained. Through court politics and his trial, the episode shows how organisations respond less to what’s said than to who says it - and what it would cost to listen.

    Power is Power

    In this opening episode of Crown of Control, we examine power through Game of Thrones character Cersei Lannister. Not power as leadership theory, but power as it is learned, protected, and enforced through silence, fear, and control. This episode explores how authority operates without instruction, and how systems teach people what is safe to say, and what is not. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
