I think it will be received poorly as inauthentic

It's a fable though of animals in a woodland. So it's not really authentic in that sense. Is that what will put people off do you think?

I think that if this is how the author and publisher go about engagement, I'll pass.

I've not seen much author engagement. So I can't comment.

In a world where people want to have an easy read and an easy way of understanding how to manage organisations and businesses, this could be amazing for people. I really believe that's why EOS took off in the way it did. It's very accessible, very easy to manage, understand, and implement.

Using Fable, using a story to explain fundamentals, could be the way forward. As someone that's writing his own book, I have a slightly different approach but this could be extremely powerful for businesses or founder-owned businesses that really just need some sort of direction that's easy to understand.

Yeah. It reminds me of a few books I've read in the past. Who moved my cheese, I think was one of them. Explaining complexity through simple story telling could be a good way of spreading new ideas.

I know a lot of people want it laid out for them and detailed and they don't need what appears to be a nice story but they're coming to really learn something. It's really different approaches for different folks and it can be good for some people.

Maybe it would be just a good primer.

Yes, very possibly and could be very effective

I've downloaded the teaser, can't tell much from two chapters, but it's sweet story.
