Reflection – Story telling

Challenge

I am currently pursuing my MBA from a reputed institution. We as a part of the program are given tons  of assignments and presentations to complete as a group activity. There are lots of challenges that we  face in a group project or presentation. One main challenge that I faced is lack of cooperation between  the members. As a team leader, I had to bring all the team members together and make them work  towards the common goal of our team.

Selection

To overcome this problem, I chose the design thinking tool -  Story telling. Through this online course, I  have understood the importance/significance and need of this particular tool. Story telling helps capture  the attention of the audience for a long period of time as compared to a normal lecture which would  only attract 20% of the attention as said by the professor in the story telling module. Due to all such  benefits of this method, I have chosen this tool for finding the solution to my problem.

Application

There were lots of positive responses to using this tool. Once I started opening up to my team mates and  sharing stories of how a team needs to perform and why it is very important to be coordinated in a  team, I could gain attention from them and altogether they started co-operating with me to achieve the  goal. I shared my own personal experience of working as a team in my school days and winning a  competition which was only possible due to the coordination that was present in my team. All my team  mates believed in ourselves and we all worked together to achieve our goal and win that competition.

Hearing this story , my team mates were really motivated and geared up to perform better and  complete our assignments successfully.

Insight

This experience on a whole was very insightful. I learnt the importance of design thinking and the need  of Story telling tool. I also understood the importance of team work and the techniques that we can use  to gain people’s attention. The course had really inculcated so much of knowledge on me. It will  definitely be of immense use in the future when I manage a team in a company.

Approach

Now that I have learnt the need and importance of design thinking and innovation, I would definitely  use it in the future when I become a team leader in a firm. It would be of great use for me to be  successful in my organization and gain confidence. I would use the story telling method especially as it is  a great way to increase response and gain attention of the audience as compared to other methods.

I am really grateful for the professors in the program to have taught me a very important tool that  would be of immense help for me in the future.

I look forward to use it in the real corporate world and achieve success!
