Effective management is all about successfully achieving the long and short term goals while guiding everyone towards the vision of the organisation. However, it is easier said than done. As a manager, having a management system that fulfils your goals and at the same time, maintains the balance to keep the employees happy can be difficult. Organisations can adopt different styles of management, but it all comes down to the fact of how effective these styles are turning out to be.

Without question, one of the skills to succeed at leadership is being an effective communicator. And one of the best ways to communicate a vision is through the use of storytelling. So how can we use this tool more effectively? That's the focus of this latest episode of my leadership podcast “Leadership Biz Cafe”. Of course, being both a keynote speaker and writer, the art of storytelling and using stories to convey an idea or concept is something I'm quite familiar with.
