This book innovatively explores: * Stories that every change leader needs to read * The often unexamined role of the "ordinary" person in change * How stories can help you be a more engaging coach, facilitator, trainer, leader, ... * The power of story as a tool for influence * How archetypes provide a way of interpreting stories * The different meaning of first, second and third-person stories * The deeper meanings behind "All stories are true but some actually happened" * Ways of effective story listening and interpreting * Understanding that "What's not said" is as important, or more so, than what is said * How story helps us work more intuitively with organisational systems
