"5 Fabulous Business Fables" is a collection of short, fast-paced fables featuring a menagerie of penguins, free-range chickens, and other all-too-human animals. It's an entertaining and educational read for anyone who makes business presentations, deals with consultants, or plans to go to business school.

Unlike business advice books that claim to have identified some magic number of steps or rules (5? 7? 12?) that guarantee success in all business situations, the philosophy of these fables is that there are only more or less useful ways of looking at things – temporarily.
