Synopsis
"A wonderfully refreshing look at leadership that contains countless insights on how stories create meaning and can inspire even cynical management to act. Its central message kept resonating in my head for weeks after reading it. I highly recommend this book." John Seely Brown , former chief scientist, Xerox Corp., and director of its Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) "It is hardly a nutty idea that narrative is a useful means of transferring knowledge from one human or squirrel to another. Steve Denning's wonderful story about stories is a unique way to tell a fundamental truth about how organizations improve their performance." Thomas H. Davenport , President's Distinguished Professor, Babson College, and Accenture Fellow "I've witnessed the power of narrative in my work and life, but I haven't had the tools to effectively employ story when I've needed it most. Denning's book provides the 'how to' for which I've been looking." M. Gary Ryan , director, Brand Development and Strategy, People Magazine "Steve Denning is one of the most imaginative knowledge practitioners around, so it isn't surprising that he's produced a charming and illustrative fable about organizational life (among other things). Read it and grow wiser in the ways of squirrels and men!" Larry Prusak , coauthor, What's the Big Idea and Working Knowledge "The success of a leader can best be measured by how many who actually followed. Steve Denning's work is an important reminder and great inspiration to all leaders who wish to connect with their employees on all the human dimensions required to create true followership." Mats Lederhausen , managing director, McDonald's Ventures, McDonald's Corporation, Squirrel Inc. is a delightful, satirical animal fable about the use of storytelling as a leadership tool in organizations. It shows leaders how to use the different forms of storytelling to meet their key challenges and illustrates the pitfalls into which one can fall if one tells the wrong kind of story., Take a satirical scamper through organizational life in the midstof changing times, brought to you by master storyteller andformer World Bank executive Steve Denning.
