The Monkey and the Maize
An Allegorical Tale of Developing Leadership Skills in Business and in Life
About this book
An allegorical tale that teaches core lifetime and business management principles through the life story of a monkey named Pete. Meet Pete. As a young monkey growing up on the safe side of The Hedge, he longs for adventure, fame, and fortune, and eventually leaves the security of his home to explore new horizons. Along the way, Pete becomes a husband, a father, and a business leader. New communities, characters and experiences present opportunities to learn management and life skills. Pete eventually reaches The City and is tasked with managing the critical shortage of The City's primary resource. Pete is sent on a risky journey to find more resources and uncovers impending catastrophe heading toward his home community and The City. All of Pete's leadership skills are tested as he races to save his family, his community, and even his foes from certain destruction. The Monkey and the Maize is a fictional story with core messages about leadership, management, community and integrity that span multiple life rolesāfrom a young couple learning how to be good parents to a first-time manager learning how to lead to a corporate CEO who wants to continue to grow. The five roots of lifeāFaith, Family, Fellowship, Food [Work], and Forgivenessāare woven throughout this tale providing its firm foundation. "Mr. Marble hasn't just penned another book on leadership. At the core, he brilliantly describes a journey that is both relatable yet inspiring. The Monkey and the Maize will create a moment of self-reflection and awareness for its readers by being real, not superficially didactic." āDave Kipe, Chief Operating Officer, Majestic Steel USA
