Employee Engagement: Use Story not PowerPoint

February 8, 2010 by David Zinger 2 Comments

Are you using story to create, foster, and enhance employee engagement within your organization.

Robert McKee is a master of story.

He offers a short insightful video look at the power of story to engage.

  • Are you relying too much on data data, authority authority
  • Are you relying too much on coercion: bribe, bully, coerce?
  • Are you making use of story?

Robert provides us with a strong 6 minute powerful “PowerPointless” video on how to use story to engage. He concludes with the comment, “I’d rather hear a fact woven beautifully into a story than look at a pie chart.”

If the video fails to load in this window, click here.

Don’t wait until once upon a time, start making use of story in your employee engagement work today.

    David, Every day you bring something inspiring and interesting to my inbox. I am grateful to you! I love this video from Robert McKee and am thinking about how I can use story better for a presentation tomorrow. The positive-ing and negative-ing that story allows McKee expresses very well. I also learned from his straight up talk right to the camera on the video. Thank you man!
