Storyteller

Who is a storyteller in an organization what is his role in growing the organization? Are the kind of stories in an organization the same as narrations some of which are based on fiction, innuendos with little truth in them?

For a business to be known, information concerning the business has to be given out. That information has to be concrete, tangible and convincing so as to act as a persuasive tool either to customers or investors.

A storyteller, therefore, is the one who determines the popularity of the organization or business venture to the outside world and he or she can either build up the business or build it down.

Storytelling is not just a sales tool for a company but a key tap to get clients to know and understand the company as well as the products being offered. It can also be used to connect employees to one another as well as to manage and to give a voice to those who might not be in position to raise their voice.

A stabilizer is more like a current that determines the floating of an airplane in air. If the current is calm and cool, the plane stabilizes and floats without any hitches.
