Here's how you can effectively communicate your vision as an executive manager using storytelling.

Make your team and people feel something when you share your goal and vision. They will remember that feeling as much as the strategy and then be more likely to execute it!

It is all about emotions. And this said by a lawyer. Why are we attracted by pictures and videos? Because they transport emotions more easily than text (even if I believe in text it is valuable). Therefore you need to establish relations and this can be done with a story. A story that is part of your DNA. So, do not make up things because they do not sound authentic and this is important. Use things from your daily or privat life. Be not to concrete but try to give the other party the feeling that they are able to understand the story and be able to get the emotional kick. Sounds easy but its not, why? We are all different and therefore you need to have a set of story frameworks that are suitable for different characters (realist, sports..)

Effective storytelling is crucial for executives leading large, diverse teams to communicate visions compellingly. Start by connecting your vision to core org values, illustrating with stories of past successes. Include personal anecdotes to show your commitment and humanize your approach, enhancing credibility. Address team concerns by sharing relatable experiences of embracing changes and the positive outcomes. Describe the envisioned success in vivid detail to make abstract goals tangible. Conclude with a strong call to action, urging team participation and emphasizing their essential role. Ensure consistency across all communication platforms to reinforce the message, aiding understanding and retention.

Start by identifying tasks that can be entrusted to others, allowing you to focus on high-priority responsibilities. Choose team members with the right skills, providing clear instructions and expectations. Trust your team and avoid micromanaging, but maintain open communication to monitor progress and offer support when needed. Additionally, use authentic storytelling to convey your vision and goals, making your communication more engaging and genuine. By combining effective delegation with heartfelt storytelling, you can inspire your team, enhance productivity, and drive meaningful career advancement.

In addition to the above, I have always started my storytelling of the vision with the Purpose. Clearly explaining ‘WHY’ the vision matters to the organization and to the teams involved is important. Explaining the impact of the vision to the organization, consumer and society as a whole, inspires teams and gets them motivated to rally behind the vision.
