Telling stories is one of the most powerful means leaders have to influence, teach, and inspire.

讲故事是领导者用来影响、教育和激励的最强大手段之一。

Storytelling forges connections among people.

Good stories can contain multiple meanings, so they're surprisingly economical in conveying complex ideas in graspable ways.

And stories are more engaging than the recital of data points or a discussion of abstract ideas.

Stories about professional mistakes and what leaders learned from them are another great avenue for learning.

关于职业错误及其领导者从中学到的教训的故事，是学习的另一个绝佳途径。

Because people identify so closely with stories, they can imagine how they would have acted in similar circumstances.

They're able to work through situations in a way that's risk-free.

他们能够以无风险的方式处理各种情况。

There are extra benefits for leaders.

With a simple, personal story, they can convey fundamental values.

通过一个简单的个人故事，他们可以传达基本价值观。

They can offer insight into the evolution of their own experience and knowledge, presenting themselves as more approachable.
