There is a stereotype of the Asian innovation leader, the willingness to take a long term view instead of being driven by the quarterly reporting cycle.

I promised to curate the next article by Daryl Conner on the four types of burning platforms stories and how they are used in org change work. Well, here it is -- and it is really good.
Any leader, business, or consultant needs to know the particulars in this article. Here is a sneak preview -- the burning platforms stories are NOT really about creating urgency for change. I appreciate Daryl for clearing up these misconceptions about this story. And don't forget to read his first blog post about the burning platform that I curated below.

Karen Dietz curated this article by Daryl Conner on four types of burning platforms. A burning platform is a concept leaders use to define the reason for change. As Daryl points out this may be based on a negative problem based appeal or a positive, future opportunity. Which is better? Research on personal change has reported greater long term success with positive images. In most serious change projects, we usually use both. You cannot and should not hide business challenges from employees. However, once they understand the challenge they will then want to hear your reasoning about why they should consider giving more of themselves to the organization. I would make it good.

Every so often, a traditionally non-business word finds its way into the business world, fueled by an admirable desire to find new ways to think about old challenges. “Storytelling” has become one of those words.
What a nicely written article pointing to several truisms in business storytelling. Some you are familiar with (storytelling is a pull, not a push technology). I like the ones that I don't read much about:
As the author Bill Baker (from Marketing Profs) says, "Successful storytelling respects the past and appreciates the present, but it also looks boldly into the future, moving people past “what is” to “what if?” Done well, storytelling helps people collectively imagine a vision of the future that is achievable and worth achieving, helping them to understand not only what they’re working on but also what they’re working toward." Yes!
And, "As you consider using storytelling strategically to give meaning to your brand communications or employee-engagement efforts, don’t do so simply because it is “the next big thing.” Do it because, if you truly listen and you are willing to be generous, authentic, emotional, and collectively creative— it works. As one senior client recently said, “This is a bit frightening. I feel vulnerable; but at the same time, because I’m being myself, I feel more confident.” If your organization is ready for that journey, there’s a great story ahead."
Love it. This is a quick post that is rich in insights & examples (ignore its clunky layout). Enjoy!
