Leaders are Storytellers:

Kristi Hedges’ article reminds us that leaders are storytellers and that is why people connect with them:

• They are storytellers. People don't remember lists of facts. We remember stories. Humans are innate storytellers. We use stories to create understanding for ourselves. Stories transport us and form a lasting connection. Great leaders share their stories to make their points come alive and to motivate others.

What is the compelling story you tell to your staff and your customers?
