Sure, I could Google The Five Temptations of a CEO. In fact, I looked for a Tik Tok summary because I know my students won't read it, but I enjoy reading business fables. Not because of the story. Five Temptations is short and includes nominal descriptions. We don't know what anyone looks like besides whether they are bald, tall, or stylish. There's barely any character development. Everything takes place in two settings. The fable is missing nearly everything a good story should have except the dialog. I admire a writer who can teach significant lessons in a few lines of conversation. The concise communication is such a lost art. I like a pithy sentence. I like the distillation of a message in conversational form. I think business folks believe we have outgrown fables and should be behavior-changing based on more substantive grounds, but the clarity that comes from a fable is a good start in helping leaders become more accountable.
