Recommendation

Mario Moussa, Derek Newberry and Greg Urban offer an entertaining and instructive look at the importance of organizational culture. They explain that people live in an ocean of inspiring, resonating stories. These tales provide collective insights that allow people to manage the present and plan for the future. This works for modern corporations as it did for communities in the past. The authors explain how to use stories as the building blocks for a narrative that helps employees navigate and contribute to your organization and its goals. They reveal how leaders can draw on shared stories to vividly demonstrate to their people how “we do things around here.”

Take-Aways

  • Develop a sustainable vision of the future based on understanding your company’s culture.
  • Stories provide powerful insight into your organization’s philosophy and values.
  • Build your culture around a potent core idea.
