The day before the Essex\u2019s rebellion against Queen Elizabeth, some of the Essex\u2019s men organized and paid for a performance of a play. Most likely, the play was Shakespeare\u2019s <em>Richard II<\/em> which recounts the \u201cusurpation and murder of an unpopular ruler\u201d (Butler, 2018). In addition to a fee for service, Essex\u2019s men provided the actors with additional compensation. Despite the fact that Butler postulates this extra money accounts for the play\u2019s unpopularity, this act demonstrates the men\u2019s support of the play\u2019s central message. Furthermore, the gratuity given to the actors highlights the relationship between money and leadership. Money influences individuals, and leaders can use this to their advantage. Although the men\u2019s decision to commission the play was not corrupt, <em>Richard II<\/em> arguably contains ideas that fueled their rebellion against Queen Elizabeth. In this scenario, monetary reward served as a tool of affirmation.<\/p>\n<p>This discussion parallels the controversy surrounding donations to political campaigns by CEOs\u2019 of corporate America. Specifically, a CEO\u2019s financial support to a political candidate and subsequently their platform. Most recently, the chairman of the parent company that owns both Equinox and SoulCycle, Stephen Ross, hosted a fundraiser for President Trump. Subsequently, both companies received tremendous backlash from their consumers who interpreted Ross\u2019 act as affirmation of these companies of President Trump\u2019s politics. This recent situation suggests that the relationship between leadership and money remains complex.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Isaac Butler\u2019s \u201cDid Richard II Provoke an Elizabethan Rebellion?\u201d examines the influence of Shakespeare\u2019s Richard II on the second Earl of Essex and his men.&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst390cnr\/2019\/09\/02\/the-complex-relationship-between-money-and-leadership\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The Complex Relationship Between Money and Leadership<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":4516,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-79","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","entry"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst390cnr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst390cnr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst390cnr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst390cnr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4516"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst390cnr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst390cnr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst390cnr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst390cnr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst390cnr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
