Leadership: It’s all Story by John J.Scherer
In the folowing, John Scherer, reminds us that before we attach blame or apply consequence , we should remember that everybody’s version of what happened, is a scewed personal story–not reality.
- First comes an experience in the world – something ‘happens’.
- Then comes our ‘story’ (interpretation) about what happened.
- Then comes our internal state as a result of that story-how we feel
- Then we go out into the world to find data that will support our particular version of the story .
- Then we argue about which version (story) is the right one,
- Then after after the first nanosecond, we forget that it’s all story.
