"in between seeing the commercial and owning the thing, I'm happy, and that's all i want...tell me how great the thing is going to be! I love it, I don't need to be happy all the time, I just want to enjoy the commercial." - Jerry Seinfeld

A truly bold leader would embolden whom he leads.

I love the concept of story telling. Humans are the apes who tell stories. That’s what makes us unique amongst the primates.

[@javanesemystic]

I love this. Used to work in communications in an infrastructure initiative in Jakarta, Indonesia. But it was public sector so it was very dull. Thank you both of you 🙏🏼🙏🏼

This is so true! I travel to construction automation companies around the world and I always go right to the engineers and laborers because they have much more to say than the marketing and sales people!!!!

[@leontalbot]

Tony’s answer is simply brilliant. “To fight against boring communication, it starts with the leader."

Robert McKee actually has a newer book that speaks more to story as a marketing device called "Storynomics"

[@Theconservativeindian]

Exactly. This is why I despise Tim Cook. No story telling compared to Jobs. He’s boring and uninspiring. Miss Jobs and Ives ans what they brought.
