Good Friends

Chapter Chapter 9 in Fables and the Art of Leadership, 2012, pp 55-58 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract There are at least three important messages in the story of “Good Friends” that are applicable to adult life. The first is about learning to listen for the feelings behind the words. The words a colleague uses when he or she is stressed may not actually describe the pain he or she is really feeling. Daniel kept asking Lady Aberlin to explain why she had forgotten him, but what he really wanted to know was how could he trust their friendship if he could so easily be forgotten. When Lady Aberlin stops offering logical explanations and hears Daniel’s deep feeling and articulates it for him, this is the point when he can relax and let go of his anger.
