Leading Narratively

Re-narrating even working practices involves an appeal to transcendent values and asks if the practices that represent those values are the best way of relating to the world. Changing them requires another story, another way of looking at the same truth but through eyes freshened with possibility and that takes into account the myriad ways custom and technology creates new opportunities. Members now have a firm grasp of what their organization should and does represent and appear pleased with that identity. I suspect the contentment is associated with the belief that the organization now more closely represents what they have held all along as of ultimate importance.
