We tend to assume that we may divide our activities into talk and
action. In so doing we tend to suggest that talk is subordinate to
action. Taking issue with these presumptions, Stories for
Management Success: The Power of Talk in Organizations argues that
talk is central to what managers do. Indeed it argues that, for
managers, 'walking the walk' necessarily implies 'talking the talk
such that storytelling is now central to managerial work'. Noting
that managerial talk is increasingly located within an account of
storytelling the book offers a critical review of the academic
debates associated with telling tales at work and uses this
critical reflection to shape and guide those who would realise the
power of talk. Thus, the book concludes with six key questions
designed to prompt both introspection and action on storytelling in
an organized context. With reflections on the relevant management
research, the author provides a scholar's digest to aid management
thinking and practice. This book offers an examination of the
processes of organizational storytelling and has been designed to
allow practitioners of management to recognise and in so doing to
unleash the power of talk in organizations.
