Every organization and business has a set of unofficial rules. They are largely unwritten. Those rules are part of the lore. Every newbie learns them. They are a guide to how to do things in that place. You have those rules where you work. They are woven through the fabric of your culture. They are foundational to the core capabilities of your business.

Take Pixar for example. Disney bought Pixar for $7.4 Billion in part due to its track record of genre-defining animated movies like Toy Story, Finding Nemo, and The Incredibles. They also bought it for its capability — to turn out phenomenal stories that captivated generations of viewers.

Back in 2012, Emma Coats, a former story artist at Pixar, tweeted out a series of rules. She called them story basics. These rules weren’t official. They were lessons learned during her time working on Brave and Up. They were part of the lore and culture at Pixar.

The rules are old, but storytelling is as relevant as ever.

We share lots of storytelling best practices, tips, and tricks in our H.O.W. newsletter (Helping Others Work).
