Discussion: The Role of Storytelling
Storytelling is a powerful instrument for human connection. Simmons (2006) labeled stories as holograms of truth. Learning how to tell good stories will help us burrow below the surface, help us speak in new ways that may communicate with the unconscious forces, and enable us to become more effective leaders. Kim and Mauborgne (2014, p. 63) argued that leaders must seek new ways to release talent and energy in todays organizational landscape. Redefining ones leadership story is one way to harness new energy in an effort to seek sustainable employee engagement.
How do we maximize our leadership message through telling a story so that it impacts in beneficial and sustainable ways?
