This workbook is an interactive guide for leaders and managers to help
you tell compelling stories at work. The Organizational Storytelling
Workbook offers: a critical engagement with academic debates on
organizational storytelling; and a series of exercises designed to
allow users to improve their capability as organizational
storytellers. The text begins with a chapter which locates
organizational storytelling within a critical account of
organizational cultures. This book argues that managerial accounts of
organizational culture offer a limited appreciation of the ways in
which people think, feel and act and suggests storytelling as a means
of redeeming our understanding of all matters cultural. Having secured
this new appreciation of culture and storytelling the workbook
develops a series of maxims and exercises designed to allow users: (a)
to improve their storytelling practice; and (b) to reassess the
cultural assumptions and priorities revealed through their practice.
Enriched with interactive features to walk managers practically
through the process of improving their storytelling skills, including
practical exercises, contemplative questions, and space to respond
creatively to the ideas in the book, this workbook is the perfect
companion to any executive or postgraduate course in storytelling as
well as a useful and enjoyable companion to any individual manager
that wishes to improve their skills.
