The importance of storytelling in leadership was one of the major points that Dr. Bezio discussed that I found most interesting.\u00a0 I remember in LDST 101, Dr. Hayter discussed the tactics that leaders used to gain their momentum and influence society. Using stories, you are able to implement certain ideas and principles into a society that may be missed at a first glance. Additionally, stories have the ability to reach a wide audience and can influence most demographics in society. An example that Dr. Hayter and Dr. Bezio both mentioned was based around the propaganda that Hitler used in assembling his supporters. The methods that Hiter used to rise to power were identical to the tactics that hundreds of leaders throughout history have used in the past.<\/p>\n
I wrote an essay based on leadership acquisition where I used Hitler and Martin Luthar King as a comparison. Although that essay was mostly based on individual traits, the use of storytelling was used by both individuals. Both individuals were extremely strong orators and often used stories as a way of establishing a sense of community within their movements. This was highly effective in making each other the figurehead of their respective movements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
