Whether it was McNulty bending the rules for what he believed was right, or Stringer Bell trying to run a drug empire like a Fortune 500 company—every character had a narrative they lived by. And those stories drove behavior, for better or worse.

If you’re leading people—whether a team, a company, or a classroom—your ability to tell the right story is what makes change possible. Not just any story, but one that creates meaning, invites action, and respects the complexity of the people you serve.
