Storytelling is not just the preserve of children: stories can be used to re-frame and re-size problems and provide useful metaphors for the boardroom, office and individual. This book includes 50 tales that can be used in a change management context to communicate ideas, aid memorable learning, encourage brainstorming sessions, develop training and reflection, as well as to help those involved cope with the stress of change and increase emotional intelligence and creativity.
