Motivating and persuading your colleagues and customers through storytelling is a powerful way to bring about impactful change and growth. It's important for leaders to understand their audience's needs and preferences so they can provide an approach that resonates with them. At its core, storytelling is about articulating a story and building a presentation that captures your audience's attention, imagination and engagement. It can be used to build relationships, influence decisions, solve problems, and create meaningful connections between people.
To meet new demands in an evolving marketplace, businesses are wise to adapt. The obstacles to make changes can prove formidable; and companies often strive to see a sustainable value from their change effort. Leading these efforts requires the ability to select and implement strategies to overcome resistance, identify the organizational needs and translate them into impactful results. Arm yourself with the tools needed to grow your leadership role in these changing times.
How do you create a highly productive team that exceeds your organization's goal? Building such a team requires thorough, purpose-driven development combined with nurturing and fostering best practices and key characteristics. This specialized group of colleagues leverage their practiced skills, diverse perspectives and professional expertise to achieve solid, resilient and clear results. Through a collaboration of a shared sense of purpose, your team will create new standards of excellence.
When the going gets tough, the tough pivot. Whether you're a solopreneur consultant or a large corporate brand, the same advice applies: Your team must pivot to survive and, more importantly, thrive. Many organizations implement new steps in productivity or turn to collaboration and communication solutions, while others adapt their business technology, upgrade operations or improve their data solutions. The ability to change, with speed and accuracy, to meet emerging opportunities and challenges is imperative for your team. The ability to pivot starts with a personal committment to adopt a growth mindset of resiliency and flexibility, leaning away from fear and stagnation and constructively redirecting self-determination.
Crisis leadership is a crucial element in today’s world. Pandemics, domestic terrorism, cyberattacks, power outages, white collar crimes and other catastrophic events are just a few of the potential crises leaders face. A crisis puts to the test the decision-making skills of an organization’s management and employees.
Leadership without authority—the ability to influence and motivate others to perform successfully—is dependent upon balancing behavior through credibility and trust, while facilitating problem-solving and creating an environment where inclusion and opportunity are encouraged. Build your influence as an agent for change in your company.
