Karen,
I like to explore how that tell those stories through other learning going on in the company. For example, how could you integrate a piece of the corporate story into an eLearning module meant to teach a particular tool or skill set?

Here's a process on how to establish storytelling as a skill among leaders. I'd just extend its scope to other roles in an organisation as well: sales processionals, consultants, customer service managers and others. They also benefit from personal and organisational storytelling, but all may be educated along this four-step approach. With stories, you inspire, impact, educate and convince people rather than with facts. Storytelling is relevant for a leaders' business. |

As assistant principals, we have to address groups of students, faculty, parents, colleagues. We have to deal with problems of individual students, staff members, and even parents. Many of us are asked to address banquets and awards assemblies. This article and the links to details it provides helps even those who think they don't HAVE stories or don't know how to develop them.

This applies to Educational Leadership too, of course.

As Karen said a different way of capturing and curating your business stories. Anything that helps leaders to categorise and re-use and re-purpose stories the better. Make it easier and leaders will use stories more and more to engage their people. Nice one. |
