Managing by Storying Around

“This book is timeless, because storytelling’s power is timeless. But it’s timely, too, very timely. The marketplace is demanding that we burn the policy manuals and knock off the incessant memo writing; there’s just no time. It also demands we empower everyone to constantly take initiatives. It turns out stories are a—if not the—leadership answer to both issues.”
Tom Peters
