Organizational Storytelling: A Leadership Connection

If you are the leader who tells organizational stories, people will start looking at you oddly. You want them to because you have achieved a tiny victory. You are fending off staleness by being the storyteller who reaches out and grabs the audience into the story instantaneously - rather than so many other leaders who only give their audience a case of the blahs. Be the person who leads in a zany, laughter-filled environment where politics is as absent as it can be in a human (i.e., imperfect) enterprise. Strip off your blinders as the crazy past is soon going to look like a mellow prelude - and create the organization that is exciting, creative, innovative, and a hoot. Just maybe the organizational fun line and the bottom line can intersect.
