Leading through Narrative

To be a leader is to engage those around you in a common vision for the future. Whether this is a vision of corporate success, collective action or shared impact, leadership requires the ability to build a narrative for others to commit to.

Anyone with leadership responsibilities recognises the need for effective communication, and a core leadership skill is the ability to weave a narrative which captures complex ideas, challenging messages and calls to action. The use of ‘story’ in your communication isn’t something unprofessional, wacky or inappropriate, rather it is one of the most effective tools leaders have at their disposal.

This highly practical, experiential and interactive programme examines and develops the crucial skill of leadership narrative. Aimed at those with team leadership responsibilities, the programme will explore what leadership narrative is, how and why it works, and the impact it can have at both an individual and group level.
