Bakersfield, CA 11/28/2005 – A group of senior innovation leaders has selected twelve books from a field of over ninety candidates for the first, global book club focused on innovation. Books were chosen for their power to stimulate thought and practical application for innovators. The book club is sponsored by the InnovationNetwork, a global community of innovation practitioners and additional information is available at http://thinksmart.com
Stephen Denning’s “The Leader’s Guide to Storytelling, Mastering the Art and Discipline of Business Narrative” was selected because of its emphasis on the critical skill of using stories to promote and support change. It is a comprehensive look at the role of storytelling in meeting the most important leadership challenges in today’s world.
Tom Kelley, author of The Art of Innovation and The Ten Faces of Innovation, states, "Storytellers play a pivotal role in the 21st century enterprise, and Denning has provided us with a handy field guide to the narrative craft. After making a compelling argument for the power of storytelling, he gives us the details on how to deliver the right story at the right time. Read this useful book-and then tell your friends about it!"
Larry Prusak, co-author of Working Knowledge says this is “the one book every manager should read before giving up their lifeless PowerPoint presentations. The book is creative, eclectic, passionate and useful--a rare and winning combination for a business book."
The full roster for the book club year includes the following:
