Lead with a Story: A Guide to Crafting Business Narratives That Captivate, Convince, and Inspire by Paul Smith

In this book, Smith seeks to give us the how-to on storytelling and show how it enhances leadership and communication. With a wealth of carefully picked examples, he illustrates various leadership principles, from envisioning, empowering and energizing. He's methodical and convincing, with recap points, although, ironically, I found this structure dull and repetitive.
It's an interesting perspective, and one that most of us probably do intuitively, but it's not the first book I would chose show more for leadership and skill development. show less
