先週の日曜日に久しぶりに浴衣を着ました。浴衣というのは夏に着る着物のことです。知っている方も多いと思いますが、浴衣や着物は着るのがとても難しいです。先週の日曜日は私の住んでいる町でコンサートがあり、日本人の方が来て、演奏するということだったので浴衣を着て出かけることにしました。コンサートは夜だったので、朝から何度もYouTubeを見ながら浴衣を着る練習をしました。浴衣は着物に比べて着るのが簡単ですが、きれいに着るのはとても難しいです。日本人でも着物や浴衣を自分で着られる人は少ないです。ちなみに私の母はもうすぐ70歳ですが自分で着ることはできません。

みなさんは着物を着てみたいですか？
着物を着てどこに行きたいですか？
よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えてください。

演奏する：えんそうする　play music
出かける：でかける　go out

The Power of Storytelling in Leading Change emphasizes the role of storytelling in driving organizational change. Leaders often face the need for significant shifts within their organizations, from cultural to product-related changes. To unite their teams behind a new direction, they must craft a clear, compelling narrative.

Storytelling is a potent tool for inspiring action and connecting with people on a deeper level. It helps articulate the ‘why’ and ‘what’ of change, making the abstract tangible and the future vivid.

The article presents a four-step approach to effective storytelling in leadership:

Deep Understanding, Simple Description: Leaders must deeply understand the change to communicate it simply. John Legere’s transformation of T-Mobile into an “un-carrier” is a prime example of conveying a complex change with a single, powerful word.
Honoring the Past: Leaders should acknowledge the organization’s strengths and history, showing respect for the past while guiding towards the future. This builds trust and eases the transition for those resistant to change.
Articulate a Persuasive Mandate for Change: Leaders need to present a clear vision that motivates and aligns with the organization’s values, addressing both the positive and negative aspects of the past.
Lay Out a Rigorous and Optimistic Path Forward: The narrative should be action-oriented, providing a clear roadmap for change while maintaining an optimistic outlook.
In summary, leaders must master storytelling to effectively lead change, balancing respect for the past with a clear vision for the future. By doing so, they can capture the hearts and minds of their employees, fostering a culture of optimism and honesty.
