  Fables provide a shared language for society. When someone says, "don't cry wolf" or "don't count your chickens before they hatch," they aren't just giving advice, they are triggering a whole narrative framework that everyone understands. This social learning reinforces common values without the need for constant formal instruction. I guess you could say, it gets straight to the point. A few of my favorite business fables from my collection are below. But first a fun fact: Many of the fables we know today (Aesop’s) were originally used as rhetorical tools in ancient Greek courts and politics to make points more persuasively to a crowd. A Traveling Musician A traveling musician arrived in a busy town square and played beautifully from dawn until dusk. His music was flawless, but few stopped to listen. When he packed up, he complained that the town simply didn’t appreciate talent. The next week, a local musician set up in the same square. Hi...

I've shared the metaphor Fly Eagle Fly with countless people over the years, and many have thanked me for it. But some like to discredit it and not take it seriously because it comes from an old children's book. Part of me is tempted to say that only an "eagle" can truly grasp its meaning.
