I worked with a newly-appointed college president who had come under fire from the media after faculty and students protested the laying off of several long-term employees. In just a few months in office, he had made several important changes to strengthen the institution but had neglected to do the most important thing a leader must do: build faith.
"Faith can overcome any obstacle, achieve any goal," says Annette Simmons, author of The Story Factor: Inspiration, Influence, and Persuasion through Storytelling. "Money, power, authority, political advantage, and brute force have all, at one time or another, been overcome by faith."
Story is the path to creating faith, writes Simmons. Story allows people to draw their own conclusions; once people make your story their story, you have stimulated faith. You can win them to your side; you can inspire them to action.
Recent research by Joanne Martin and her team at Stanford Business School showed that illustrative stories told within an organization encourage more commitment, generate more belief, and are more often remembered than statistical data that proves the same point in a factual way.
Simmons lists the different types of stories that visionary leaders use. Among these are:
Who Am I Stories
Why I Am Here Stories
My Vision (or Where We Are Going) Stories
Teaching Stories
My Values in Action Stories
For some especially those of us who are "thinker" and high-action "doers" storytelling is more difficult. My client, the college president, is one of these people. He is a thinker. Together we inventoried stories for each of the five types listed above. He now has a series of stories that he is comfortable delivering and can apply to almost every situation.
Stories are him to become a more effective visionary leader, and storytelling can do the same for you.
