(E13) The business storytelling expert Janet Murray
One of the most powerful ways a leader can connect with others is through storytelling. But it can be hard to understand how you apply that to your everyday leadership approach, especially if you’re someone who is number or action orientated.
But storytelling is at the heart of great strategy and is how the most impactful leaders take people with them.
