Abstract

We are in an ever-changing working world. Employees need to develop to meet new requirements, which require a constant effort to develop their own identity. Stories, to which one has an easy access to, are an effective tool for dealing with constant change. In addition, they are ideally suited for importing knowledge, motivation, and inspiration. This not only presents personnel development with new challenges but also with its own new role model and a changed professional identity. Storytelling can help to rewrite your own story as well as for a whole department. What this might look like in practice is described in the following chapter.
