Reflection - Storytelling

Challenge & Selection

Storytelling is a great tool that I use must of time. I work to develop and refine the skills of young leaders  from various government agencies to prepare a generation of exceptional leaders ready for leadership.  These young people work in various fields and face many difficulties and challenges in their personal and  professional lives, and they need inspiration and motivation to move forward. When I work with those  young leaders, I work to improve their leaders’ ability to overcome resistance to change and drive  worker engagement and buy-in by attaching the powerful tool of storytelling. Here and there we use  stories to all the more likely comprehend their interests and points of view. I utilize this data to create  various methods to attempt to discover a way that works for them to acquire independence in the areas  they find lacking in their lives.

Application

While discussing the changing policies in the company that affect and relate to preparing a leadership  generation, I suggested that we should focus on people more precisely as each person has a special  character and is different from the other. Unfortunately, the company adheres to the traditional and  complex system. I was additionally clarifying how some of the time tending to the necessities of one  individual can affect everybody to improve things, regardless of whether it appears to be extreme or  strange. I mentioned a story, when I was working as the head of the employee development department  in one of the medium-sized private companies, all the department employees were working and  interacting well with others, but there was one employee " Tweeting out of tune", he was introverted  and did not like mixing and dealing with other employees. Therefore, I decided to focus my attention on  this employee, and I called him to my office to know the employee’s story. It turns out that the  employee feels embarrassed by others and is afraid that people will look at him differently if they get to  know him otherwise.

Insight & App

That was interesting; all the other employees naturally deal with others, so I decided to tell my story to  him. I told him that I was previously feeling hesitant and afraid to deal with others, because I did not  know the style and personality of the other party, but I was encouraged and gesture to contact with  others not only for the sake of work but also for a personality, and see what my position is today "head  of employee development department". Indeed, the result was positive, as he started talking and mixing  with the staff close to him at first, and the matter began to develop in the department and then in the  external departments. All employees are operating as an integrated system.

So I recounted to this story to the company, and I think it had truly affected individuals there. The  policies are being reconsidered and the case managers are experiencing new preparing. Occasionally a  little story can do a ton of good.

This course opened various doors for evolution and the pursuit of the best. When I did this previously it  was, difficult to get the message across, but now I can prepare in advance and find a story that fits the  purpose.
