Some who enter positions of authority with the best of intentions at times fall prey to the temptation of self-gratifying motives. Is this human nature or a function of the ways in which society conceptualizes leadership? What role do associates, supporters, and constituents play? For those who have resisted the lure of self-aggrandizement, were there certain protocols and characteristics that keep them balanced, or were these individuals skilled at not being exposed? This conversation explores this failure (or fallacy) of leadership and inevitably invites far more questions than answers. http://lib.morainevalley.edu/libraryeventpodcasts.aspx Library Events Thu, 09 Apr 2026 12:30:04 -0500 Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, Jerusalem, and historic Palestine continue to struggle for justice and liberation after 79 years of occupation.
