Parables
We are soft-wired for storytelling – and that is why parables are so powerful. When I think about books that have moved, instructed and inspired me, many are parables like Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Parables use simple stories and relatable characters to give us insights about life. For example, there is a story about Gulliver, a young goose who, after getting lost on the way to leadership school, finds himself on an African adventure, learning paradoxical lessons in leadership during his incredible journey. This is my new book, published today, called Follow Me! (I’m Lost): The Tale of an Unexpected Leader.
