Every culture carefully nurtures a set of stories in the form of mythological tales which are passed from generation to generation. Stories serve several purposes like entertainment, recording historical incidents and inspiration. We provide a special place for "true" stories.
We know that one of the characteristic of great leaders is the ability to tell stories very effectively. I like to think of stories as very effective instruments to achieve a desired mindset. Whether in a written or a spoken form or related in the form of a verse (ballad) stories are indeed very powerful.
People of all ages absolutely love stories and are held very spell bound. I am curious to know - how does one become an effective story teller ? Can it be an acquired ability ? I would think of it as an essential part of any leadership training. I have seen some people have a very natural ability to convert an incident into a story. Some are able to create a story from nothing
What makes a story interesting ? It is clear that novelists, script writers and film makers are masters at being able to create interesting stories or to simple narrate a story in an interesting way.
Overall I have many questions and am really interested in learning from other readers - this subject and skills of effective story writing / telling. I am very fascinated by this subject.
