Episode notes

Navigating the dynamics of authority and accountability reveals the intricate balance between taking initiative and gaining support. Understanding how much credit to attribute to superiors while managing personal contributions is crucial in organizational settings. This balance not only affects personal relationships at work but also determines how one navigates frustrations in collaborative environments. Ultimately, the interplay of personality and collective human experience reinforces the importance of navigating these dynamics wisely.

This is the fourth official episode, breaking down the 1974 Pulitzer Prize winning book, The Power Broker by our hero Robert Caro.

Roman and Elliott also sit down with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the U.S. representative for New York's 14th congressional district, who describes the lasting impact Moses’ highways have made on her district, and her own philosophy when it comes to political power and bringing ambitious projects to life.

On today’s show, Elliott Kalan and Roman Mars will cover the second section of Part 4 of the book (Chapter 16 through Chapter 20), discussing the major story beats and themes.
