The Domino Fable: Put on Your Own Oxygen Mask First

The fable of the dominoes is used to illustrate the importance of taking care of oneself as a leader before trying to help others. The dominoes in the story were connected in a series, and when one fell, it triggered a chain reaction that brought all the others down. The domino that remained standing explained that while others were focused on supporting their neighbors, their primary concern was to stay upright. The moral of the story is that leaders should prioritize their own well-being and stability, which will have a positive impact on the entire system.
