Something's Wrong in Willow Glen: A Leadership Fable

By Beverly K Girton

Five children from Willow Glen, guided by their remarkable LIGHT Companions, notice something the adults no longer see-empty flower boxes, divided desks, canceled celebrations, and a community center that has slowly lost its sense of purpose. While the grown-ups debate, avoid difficult conversations, and lose trust in one another, the children begin asking the questions everyone else has forgotten to ask.

Something's Wrong in Willow Glen is a workplace leadership fable that explores how organizational culture can quietly deteriorate-and how it can be restored through courage, character, and intentional leadership.

Built around the LIGHT Framework(TM)-Love, Integrity, Goodness, Humility, and Transparency-this engaging story helps leaders recognize the warning signs of declining trust while offering practical insights for rebuilding healthy teams and thriving workplace cultures.

Perfect for leaders, supervisors, managers, HR professionals, educators, ministry leaders, and anyone who influences others, this book includes discussion questions and a facilitator's guide, making it ideal for leadership development, team meetings, workshops, book clubs, and organizational retreats.

Meet the LIGHT Kids and their unforgettable companions in a story that reminds us that restoring trust begins with character. Sometimes restoring what matters most begins by seeing what everyone else has overlooked.
