Practitioner catalog of eight narrative patterns in organizational settings — motivating action, building trust in the leader, building trust in the company (branding), transmitting values, getting collaboration, sharing tacit knowledge, taming the grapevine, and creating shared vision — each tied to the use of story to deliver effects that propositional analysis cannot.
