Storybox Playlist: Kings and Queens
The vast majority of fairy and folk tales involve a king or a queen.Sometimes they are called chiefs, sometimes pharoah, sometimes czar but in every case, they embody leadership and how that can play out. Good and bad leadership is generally clear in stories, but not so clear in real life — but the metaphors are still useful. Here is a collection of leadership stories that help us look at our own relationship to power and how we use it.
