Reflection- Storytelling 

 Challenge and Selection 

 Storytelling is an amazing tool for design thinking and I use it all the situations . I ’m the head   of the HR dept of my company . I work with different kinds of people with different attitude   and different characters . Each one of them has his / her own unique sense of knowledge and   understanding . I often interact with my colleagues , sub - ordinates and my seniors . We share   our stories and keep our conversations intact . In my department I treat everyone equally and   do not consider myself as a head but as a colleague . As we are working as a team there will   be brainstorming and other planning processes so I personally need everyone ’s viewpoints   and opinions . However , as per my observation there are a group of people who do not interact   or give their ideas but just come to the office , work and leave on time . So , I decided to get   their opinions and feedback with the help of storytelling . 

 Application 

 Once , I had a coffee session with those selected introvert employees and personally asked   them the reason for their lack of participation . They replied by saying that they feel inferior   and their interests do not match with other employees . I smiled and decided to tell them a   story . I told them that back in my college days even I was an introvert like them and did not   like to mingle with anyone . I added by saying that I did not indulge in any form of informal   communication . One fine day our beloved HR faculty assigned us in groups for a group   assignment . Initially I did not speak anything , later I thought of giving a point and for my   surprise , that point was valid and considered by everyone . One of them asked me my name , I   burst out with laughter and jokingly asked “ I am in this class for 2 years and now you are   asking my name ? ” . We all had a good laugh and a great discussion and even after the group   assignment we were good friends . 

 Insight and Approach 

 So , by this story I made those employees realise that its them who has to make the first step .   Afterall we are all humans and we have our own creativity , sense of humour and   understanding . I told them that if we work among ourselves , we are never going to have a   good social life . In our next brainstorming sessions those employees gave their opinions and   it was innovative and approved by all and most of them made new friends . Hence , Informal   communication is necessary in every field for more creative ideas and design thinking . 

 This course has helped me to see this tool in a new way . With this tool I became a successful   leader for my department and I am grateful for it .
