“Perhaps, indeed, there are no truly universal ethics: or to put it more precisely, the ways in which ethical principles are interpreted will inevitably differ across cultures and eras. Yet, these differences arise chiefly at the margins.

Howard Gardner

“Stories are the single most powerful weapon in a leader’s arsenal”
Howard Gardner
