Storytelling: a leadership skill that can transform employee engagement

The HR Leader had the pleasure of speaking with Gabrielle Dolan, speaker, author and the founder of ‘jargon-free Fridays’ alongside Miranda Ratajski, chief information officer for group business units at Westpac about the power of storytelling – when it’s done correctly.

The podcast delved into what storytelling is in a business-leadership context, why it works, and what it might look like when it isn’t done well.

As a business leader, Ms Ratajski shared how she’s used storytelling and the results she’s witnessed off the back of it. Ms Dolan commented on the difference between using stories and simply sharing facts and figures.
