I have blogged about storytelling, in the past as it relates to retailers, specifically Apple, Whole Foods and REI. True stories are very powerful and, as the saying goes, often stranger than fiction. In the hands of a good storyteller, successes, challenges, and even failures are potent teaching instruments.
