Key elements of a good story

This is one of, if not, the best talks I have seen on why stories are powerful for leaders, and how to tell a compelling and effective one.
Here is what I came away with as the key elements but I encourage you to take the 7-14 minutes (depending on your listening speed) to listen to see if you glean more.

Elements of a good story
A.  Key questions to answer
– What is the Context?
– What is the Conflict?
– What is the Outcome?

B.  Key Attributes to provide
– Create tension and then release it over and over
– Build an idea
– Communicate value

Be exceptional!
