A JOURNEY BEYOND

1. Challenge and Selection

The tool that I will use is the Storytelling tool, As a school leader I encountered  diverse of person or stakeholders This tool will help me to find solutions to the  problem we encountered in school. Storytelling Tool is a fundamental part of  every great brand. Every great product, every great service, every great  institution has a story behind it. And that story connects to the emotions, the  characters, the values of the people that live that product every day. As school  leader story telling is always been a part of my life. As Andre Martin told us this  the tool that leaders can used as opposed just an aid in our brand’s and the  products that we give to people. Storytelling says it’s not about the list of things  we have to do, it’s about the connection that we give to people about a piece of  information that we’re trying to share. One of the challenge that I encountered  are the presence of non-readers in our school. These non-readers will affect the  performance of school. Storytelling as Moore says is difference between  solving a problem and creating a cause, but because of the storytelling that I  conducted in the parents and teachers of teachers we address this problem.

2. Application

I started the process was to analyze the data submitted by the teacher, Based  from the result it shows that the non-readers in Grade I-III is 32 pupils out 172  pupils or 18.6%. I also conducted informal interview to pupils and parents. After  we analyze the result series of orientation will be conducted to teachers, pupils  and parents to present the proposal. In the orientation we used the storytelling  tool. My first orientation is for the teachers I presented to them the data and  asking what will we do to address this problem. Next is I oriented the parents, as  Mr Martin says we have to know our audience, because a good story is designed  for the audience, I used words that are familiar to the I did not use difficult  words, I speak their local dialect to understand fully what I am saying.  I see to it  that when I told a story it was properly sequenced. I also ask questions from time  to time and let the audience answered. By asking questions I can truly  understand them. This will help to address the problem we are solving.

3. Insight and Approach

What I have learned from conducting this exercise that storytelling is important  in dealing with other people. Sometimes I find difficult in dealing with people,  when I present I used power point to present not thinking what they want and if  they can understand me. As a leader, storytelling it makes it simple, it makes it  relate-able, it gives strategy color, and life In character and plot. It is also an  essential tool for leaders to become competent and experts in as we move  forward. It also helps me makes sense of an organization

Since I discovered that storytelling is a great help of being a leader in dealing of  people I will used it series of activities.
