How do stories enable an organisation (or a society) to move ahead from strength to strength?

Some Examples:

* Storytelling invests our lives with more meaning

* It connects us more empathetically with others

* It stimulates and nurtures our creativity

* It enlivens and enhances our sense of humour

* It infuses us with courage and confidence

* It renders our lives more memorable


Converting Parables to Profit:

Stories

* help us create a flesh, blood, and soul environment

* help us learn from the past

* are effective at raising hidden issues

* can be successful at transferring knowledge

* help to build trust, and to command attention

* humanise the teller, the listener, and the prevailing situation (where relevant)

* inspire ‘internal branding’ about people getting things done

* enable us to think, learn, communicate, and bond

* help to create yearning, learning, earning organizations

* infuse a human element into discussions (note that the crucial missing ingredient in most failed communications is humanity).

* help people feel acknowledged, connected, less alone, and more alive.

* tether us to something safe, thus acting as a life-preserver in a chaotic ocean of choice (which often leaves us as disembodied voices begging for attention).

* help us to feel more than just a dot on a bell curve!

The vital issues of this world are ultimately decided by the story that grabs the most attention and is repeated most often.

The Values Embedded in Storytelling:

For the individual

* Inspires interest in life, stimulates imagination, sharpens intellect, and propagates innovation by enhancing our ability to: think, feel, listen, speak, narrate, communicate with empathy, and above all, to understand ourselves, and thus excavate meaning from life in order to bond with one another.

* Awakens our interest in other cultures, enlightens us with a deeper understanding of our own, and builds bridges across the oceans of consciousness that separate us through prejudice, bigotry, and fanaticism.

* Engenders ideas via subtle shifts in contexts, whereby a pinball effect of associations can lead one from breakdown to breakthrough.

For a community, an organisation, or a nation:

* Transforms and regulates behaviour by communicating morals, values, beliefs, and the infinite wisdom of the ages.

* Archives history, preserves tradition, and propagates harmonious evolution for future generations to learn from past wisdom.

* Propagates strategic thinking, leadership, innovation, and entrepreneurship via its inherent structure.

* Promotes group bonding through shared joys and sorrows.

* Nurtures empathetic leadership whereby leaders learn to communicate in response to diverse scenarios: through their powers of storytelling, they can calm a mob, energise a nation, and turbocharge conviction in order to realise a greater good!
