Have you ever been mesmerized by a great story teller? Have you ever been moved to tears listening to the tale of someone's tragedy or triumph? Have you ever wished YOU could connect with people that way?

Telling a good story isn't always easy. But learning to tell a good story is imperative for leadership in the 21st century. In fact, Daniel Goleman sheds some light on this in the opening paragraph of his book, Primal Leadership. Goleman says, "Great leaders move us. They ignite our passion and inspire the best in us." And as author, speaker, agent for social change, and catalyst Kevin Carroll highlights in the accompanying video, one of the main ways leaders move us and inspire us is through their ability to tell stories.

As Carroll explains, leaders have to communicate varieties of information and announcements to people. And the best leaders have learned to attach meaning to the information they communicate, so their listeners become invested in what they have to say.
