Sure, storytelling is an important way to connect with others and create a productive workplace, but it can sometimes become pretty darn toxic if you do it wrong. In this episode, we delve into the complex and sometimes dangerous role of storytelling in leadership. In fact, we start with a little lesson from Chicken Little, who may be one of the worst leaders in history.
You’ll learn the fine line between using narrative effectively and allowing it to detract from being a successful leader. Tune in to learn how to prevent the pitfalls of storytelling while harnessing its potential to inspire and lead.
