The Halo and the Noose (written together with Dorian Haarhoff)
Unearths the power of storytelling in business life.
There is a growing interest in story–telling for business purposes because:
  • Leaders are recognizing that today's worker is bored by and doesn't respond to the same old same old histogram, bar chart, bullet–point slide,teacher–tell presentations and way of communicating
  • Astute story-telling facilitates the development of insight into personal emotional intelligence [self-awareness and self management], group social intelligence [empathy, listening, social cognition, relationship management], lateral thinking, and behaviours that trigger change and improve performance
  • Stories fit nicely into the 4P communication format: current PROBLEM, situation, issue or challenge, word PICTURE of the solution or approach envisaged, PLAN of action, the listener’s PART in the plan. They have the power to influence individuals, teams, the organisation
  • Stories entertain, energise and inspire. They induce emotional connection, de-stress us, motivate and elicit positive responses, develop confidence, and encourage engagement and the building of community
"There can be few talents more important to managerial success than knowing how to tell a good story." Michael Hattersley, Harvard Management Updates.

“Policy manuals are no-no’s today. But anarchy’s not in either. So how do we let people know what’s important around here without constraining them? The best way as I see it: stories” Tom Peters
