Gerald Hector Part 2 — The power of storytelling in driving participation across the institution

Gerald Hector is Vice President for Finance and Administration at Ithaca College. In [part one of our conversation last week](http://teibelinc.com/podcast/148), Gerald shared his insights on the importance of the CBO-CIO relationship, and we expected that to be the extent of our conversation. Then he surprised us with a fantastic pivot. In part two, we take on the power of storytelling in moving the institutional mission forward. From using metaphor to explain complex financial subjects, to his "Dollars & $ence" meetings, now central to his mission around campus financial leadership, Gerald's input is a valuable perspective far beyond his role as a technical finance leader.
