Is your team on an up and down journey to its destination? Here’s how to celebrate the riches you acquire along the way – from the troughs as well as the peaks.
Have you found riches in the troughs of your journey?
It’s time to tell the team how you’re doing against those goals you set (remember them? Mmmm – maybe you’d rather forget!). And the progress has been pretty varied. You’ve been hit by surprises, you’ve taken some wrong turns, but you’ve also had wins, and your team is so much stronger than before.
If that’s you, your brand or a process you’re explaining, this is a story that will show your journey in the positive light it deserves and engage your listener. Stephen Booker’s 3rd out of 7 key narratives is The Quest in which we celebrate all the twists and turns because as we progress we pick up invaluable treasure.
This narrative emphasises key skills we have gained along the way which have made us stronger, notably:
- persistence
- flexiblity
- creativity
- worldliness/experience
And we get our reward in the end, or we will do.
