Challenge:

Story telling is an art which connects emotions and showcases values of people. It doesn't just satisfy the  sharing of vision and humanity. It is also used to share knowledge, lessons learned in life , and social and  cultural values. This is especially useful in corporate life.

The challenge is to make the people from the top tiers of management understand the perspectives of  those of ground level employees. For that, story telling should be in simple  language. This process  should inspire and unite people. It need not be either completely true or fictional as long as it adds value  to the feelings of the people. The audience should get inspired from the storyline & work towards their  goal in a quicker manner.

Selection:

Selecting the audience is also a main factor in success of a story telling session. Your audience should be  focused towards a common goal. To be a good storyteller you need to be a good listener. For every story  process, you need a good theme, a vivid setting, a strong narration, and a coherent plot. This will make  the audience engaged throughout the process. The story  should be interesting and interactive to keep  audience in enthusiastic state.

Application:

I have used the application of story telling in various situations of my life. I can share my real life  experiences which helped me  & my friends to get placed in a good company. Initially we never knew  how to prepare for placement. One day I met a senior who comes from a very rural background who  now works in a very reputed company. Their parents and friends are so proud of him. I took  this  concept as my basis and built upon it. I wove some interview experience into a fiction also based on my  real life, as I too am from a rural area and could identify with that senior’s struggles. I shared this story  with my friends. They took inspiration from the story and started working hard to learn aptitude and  logical and technical reasoning.  As a result of this, my friends and I got selected into reputed core  companies.

Insight:

When I entered into a company, I was supposed to manage people whose experience is two times that  of mine. At the time I motivated them to achieve the vision of the organisation. These people were not  paying their complete attention to my commands. After analysing how to improve the process , I found  story telling would be a good option. I asked their views about the workplace and working ambience.  The people were a little bit lethargic. I asked my senior professionals about how to improve that  situation. Then I came with a story to ignite the people's minds and I improved the working ambience.  Now, we are the top performing team in the  organization. We are generating good revenue through  team work. This is not possible without the help of this story telling tool.

Approach:

I used this tool in my organization in order to make a better work place. This helped me to guide all my  juniors to work in a better environment. Some people can push the employee to work without any  motivation. You can achieve the success but the employee engagement would be very low.

But for longlasting success, you need to motivate them. For that you really need story telling. To grow in  people management, it is a mandatory tool. If we use story telling along with other tools like  visualisation, it would be helpful to achieve overall success for the organization.

I hope I can someday be the best in my department by using various thinking processes as well as  optimizing team management.
