A crown can dazzle us into ignoring the trap right beneath it. We unpack the timeless fable of the fox and the monkey to explore why applause, titles, and viral credibility often mask a shaky core—and how to build the kind of leadership that holds under pressure. Drawing a sharp line between borrowed authority and earned influence, we talk through practical ways to spot bait, slow your impulses, and anchor decisions in values you won’t trade for a quick win.
