The Hero’s Journey | Keeping Teams Motivated Through Storytelling

Roll for Leadership

Episode Description:

In Episode 9 of Roll for Leadership, Denis dives into the timeless power of storytelling with a focus on The Hero’s Journey, the narrative framework made famous by Joseph Campbell and of course one of the best sources for storytellers: Nancy Duarte's books.

Using these frameworks, Denis explores how leaders can keep their teams motivated, engaged, and connected by crafting meaningful narratives. From starting a project to overcoming challenges and celebrating success, this episode provides practical tools for guiding teams through their own epic quests.

Pretty much as Dungeon Masters, Leaders craft stories for their teams to help them grow and find meaning in their work.
