Story telling

Challenge and selection

In my work, I use storytelling as a tool that creates empathy and helps create more  images about the new future we are trying to create in the organization. I work in  the Human Resources area; here we take care of everything that has to do with the  workers. From your salary to your job performance. I spend a lot of time with  people in the company, so I have to need a lot of communication with them. In the  same way, I maintain a lot of communication with the heads of each area, and I  see how the leadership that is applied works or can work better. Leadership in an  organization is of vital importance, since it cannot be confused with the get higher  that is given to a person. We share stories for the different areas of the  organization and in this way we achieve a change in their behavior, workers come  to me when they have a problem with their supervisors or bosses, so action must  be presented to bosses and supervisors, already that when complaints are made  about bosses by various workers, there is a problem. I use different stories in  training to find a way that works for bosses when leading their workers.

Application

The workers of the organization most of the time complained about the way in  which one of the bosses asked for a job or they presented problems for a task that  was not quite right and he threatened them with dismissal or a letter in their file. So  I tried to explain them the benefits that can be obtained by taking a more worker- centered approach. Since like everyone he is a person, not a results machine. So  his workers were failing and considering starting a union. This brought many  problems on the part of the workers, since indeed an abuse of power was taking  place on the part of that Boss. I brought together all the Heads of the different  areas and made sure that all were present in this way I could tell a story that was  presented in a family that used to be united, in this family there were both parents,  and their two children. They were very happy, they had a very beautiful childhood  in which they enjoyed beautiful moments, but their children as they grew up and  entered adolescence began to become rebellious, and disrespect their parents,  their parents did not understand why it could be giving that behavior had always  imposed rules and the children obeyed them. It wasn't like that until they decided to  go to family therapy. The therapist realized that during childhood the children were  “subjected to power” by their parents. This caused that when entering the  adolescence the rebellion began.

Perspective and focus

This was a revelation for the parents since they considered that their style to guide  their children was the right one. The therapist mentioned that power ruin  relationships, certain norms or rules can be enforced, but in the long run, power  seriously deteriorates relationships. At the end I presented a reflection in which I  mentioned that the same thing happens in the company, the dissatisfaction of the  employees is often a “rebellion” disguised by the abuse of power. I think this little  story had a big impact on all the bosses and especially the one that the workers  used to complain about. They reevaluated the kind of leadership they were going  to use, the right ways to treat the staff who worked for them and with them. I  believe that a little story can change the way people see things and on these types  of occasions the change in the heads of all departments is taken into account.

In this course I was able to learn about this new tool that is about telling stories to  “change the world”. On other occasions, I would have considered the use of  performance tests, work environment, among others. But I think that preparing  stories for different problems that arise in the organization from now on can be a  new way of dealing with them.
