The majority of executives use stories to persuade and communicate in the workplace. Can you share with our readers examples of how you implement that in your business to communicate effectively with your team?
Michelle Saenz-Rodriguez: I work in the immigration law space. As an immigration lawyer, my job is to tell the stories of the people I represent every single day. The work that we do in our office will impact lives on a monumental scale. It is important that each person on our team understand what role they play in making that happen for the people that we serve. When our team know the underlying story and what is at stake in our cases, they become stakeholders in the work that we do and the effort rises to a level of personal importance. When the client wins, we all win and that win is celebrated by the entire team because it takes everyone to make it happen. As the lawyer, I am the one in the courtroom, but all the ground work is done by the team way before I ever set foot in that courthouse.
