Story for Leaders

Meer over het boek

We’re living through a time when fiction seems more powerful than fact - when tales trump truth. Storytelling is a power-tool of leadership but it’s one that can both build and destroy. That’s why it’s more important than ever for leaders to master the art of story; not just telling stories about what happened but creating authentic stories that shape what happens next. In Story for Leaders David Pearl outlines the must-have techniques to create a compelling story and deliver it with power. Then he goes further, showing us how story can be used to shape our future, navigate our personal and professional lives and engage others in a shared vision. And when David refers to 'leaders' he doesn't just mean those in the headlines. He’s talking about everyday leadership… If you're the kind of person who wants to get something done and works with other people to do it, if you have a team or community that looks to you for direction or guidance, if you're trying to change the status quo or make the world a better place even in a tiny way, then this book was written for you… "The art of storytelling is at the very heart of inspiring others. David Pearl is a master at this." Ian Buchanan Group CIO Barclays
