It seems like everyone's starting some kind of a "Business U" these days. But they're almost all grounded in old paradigms focused on growth and profit. And that's not what we need if we're really going to #BuildBackBetter. That's where Hamsa Daher and her team at Small Giants come in. They're growing a learning community for leaders who prioritize purpose and people – and they're doing it with stories.
In this episode, Hamsa tells us how a narrative analysis of stories about successful, "alternative" business models inspired the founders to launch Small Giants, and how they weave stories throughout their work. By using stories to share knowledge and experience, foster relationships, engage teams and inspire innovation, Small Giants has created a unique learning environment that helps leaders step into their purpose and strengthen their teams.
As Hamsa tells us, uncertainty is at an all-time high, and leaders need reliable ways to engage and support their people, while adapting to new economic opportunities. Using stories to analyze what's working, experiment with new ideas, build trust and inspire action will help purpose-led organizations not only survive but also thrive in an unknown future.
