The Emperor's New Clothes

this fairy tale can also be read to see what makes a good leader....

the emperor is not such a bad guy .... despite his love, or should i say,  obsession - with clothes because we ought to remember that his kingdom was a happy one, in short - he could afford to spend his time indulging his pride and vanity.

how many kingdoms (for kingdom - you can substitute country, company, or institution) can you say are in the same condition?  which ones?

this classic tale is also about cowardly courtiers or cowardly followers - who cant see or tell the truth like it is, or perhaps they are not cowardly, merely - ass l*ck*rs .... or yes-men.
