I look at those who run a mile away from the phrase as well as those who think it doesn't have to be seen only in a ngative light. I conclude with some pointers I think that leaders can use in their organisations to shape culture for recruitment and retention.

In this week's episode,  I explore the power of storytelling at work. Why is it important to know how to tell stories? What stories do we tell? How do we tell these stories? This podcast is an introduction as to the relevance and power of storytelling for leaders.
