The book's lucid explanations, vivid examples, and practical tips are essential reading for CEOs, managers, change agents, marketers, salespersons, brand managers, politicians, teachers, parents-anyone who is setting out to the change the world. "Leaders don't just execute strategy, they must inspire others to follow... This book explains how." - Financial Times "Denning cohesively links the importance of narrative intelligence and telling stories to leadership success." - Library Journal
