It’s true that every post this week so far has been about Paul Smith and his new book, Lead With a Story: A Guide to Crafting Business Narratives That Captivate, Convince, and Inspire. Books about story are worth celebrating. So are free webcasts, which is what Paul’s publisher AMACOM is offering in conjunction with the book’s publication:
Webcast: Crafting Business Stories That Captivate, Convince, and Inspire
The American Management Association New Media Team presents a webcast with Paul Smith, author of Lead With a Story: A Guide to Crafting Business Narratives That Captivate, Convince, and Inspire next week. He will discuss why storytelling works, and when to use it.
When you want to be understood, tell a story.
Over the last decade, storytelling has become one of the most rapidly growing communication tools used by business leaders and executives.
Companies like Disney, 3M, Motorola, and the World Bank have adopted storytelling as a key method of influence and leadership. Instead of corporate memos, email, and PowerPoint presentations, storytelling is now being used to inspire and motivate organizations, to create a vision for the future, to define culture and values, to set goals and build commitment to them, and to lead change.
