Priest wittily reminds the audience that‚ “being careless and negligent and trusting and flattery”‚ can lead to no good--in Chanticleer’s case‚ near-death. This moral‚ the tale as a whole‚ and other noteworthy themes‚ are brought about by the tale’s fable form‚ and by various literary elements. In particular‚ the Nun’s Priest use of dialogue‚ voice‚ and Chanticleer’s stories and brush with death present a meaningful tale.

definitely changed my opinion about workplace conflict after studying in these few weeks. First‚ I have realized that conflict was not always a bad thing for an organization. When I was reading Lencioni’s book- the five dysfunctions of a team: a leadership fable‚ I have found that my previous understanding of conflict is one-sided.
