"The Secret Language of Leadership" Interview

It is relatively known that great leaders are good storytellers. What is more complex is the way that leaders inspire people through storytelling. That is, it isn't about spin or a calculated messaging campaign. It is about authenticity and the ability of a leader to tap into the better angels of our nature through cultural narratives. While one can become a better storyteller through study and practice, the natural storytellers are the exemplars we emulate.

In my 8-minute video interview with Steve Denning he expands on how he came to compose his ideas and the impact they are having on the way we think about leadership and story; these he outlines in his latest book: "The Secret Language of Leadership: How Leaders Inspire Action Through Narrative."
