Telling the Story shows how leaders affect our understanding of what is possible and desirable through the stories they tell. It opens a door into the world of narrative leadership: what stories are and how they work; when to tell a story and how to tell one well; and how the language and metaphors we use influence our actions and change how we think about the world.
• Explains how narrative leadership shapes and defines what’s possible on an organizational level
• Written by a renowned consultant on the art of narrative leadership
• Challenges leaders to consider how narrative can influence and help create the kind of society they envision
