Paul Smith I recently spoke to Paul Smith, who is a consumer research executive, keynote speaker, corporate trainer, and author of Lead with a Story: A Guide to Crafting Business Narratives that Captivate, Convince, and Inspire (AMACOM Books, August,...


I've been following Dan Schawbel for years and was delighted to find that he recently interviewed colleague Paul Smith at Proctor and Gamble about his new book on storytelling and leadership titled Lead With A Story.


This interview with Paul that Dan conducted is chock full of good information about the need for leaders to develop storytelling as a core competence. And tips on how companies can make storytelling part of their leadership practices.


What I love about Paul's book is his identification of 21 common leadership challenges where storytelling can help. He based his conclusions on his interviews with 75+ CEOs and executives at companies around the world.


If you want to know more about storytelling and leadership, read this article and then get the book (I have no affiliation with Paul or his publisher).


You will have more tools at your disposal than when you started!

Electronic records don’t tell us stories that make cognitive sense

Electronic records don’t tell us stories that make cognitive sense | Just Story It | Scoop.it
After two months of use, we’ve learned to our sorrow that EMRs don’t tell us stories that make cognitive sense.


For years we've suffered from 'death by PowerPoint' as people's thinking and experience was forced into this limited computerized framework for transfering knowledge.


Now physicians are facing a similar problem. That's because we think of knowledge as discrete pieces of information instead of knowing that knowledge is best conveyed through stories and rich media imbedded with layered meanings.


Oh, when will we learn? Patients ARE stories. 


You would think that with all the work going on in storytelling these days (social media, marketing, branding, sales, leadership, agile software development, architecture, education, training, teamwork, and other business applications) someone somewhere would get the idea that Electronic Medical Records (EMR) should allow for story capture.


Oh well. OK, I'll get off my soap box now.


To really understand the beauty and the warts of EMR and its connection to storytelling, read this article. Maybe you'll be the one with the breakthrough idea and be the next mega-millionare for solving this problem!
