The series of organizational storytelling seminars is
aimed at bringing together scholars who are interested in
the nature of stories and storytelling in organizations,
and the use of stories in research on different aspects of
organizational life, including politics, gender, culture,
leadership and emotion. Now in its 7th year, the seminar
receives funding from the ESRC. Earlier seminars have taken
place in a variety of academic institutions including
Imperial College, University of Exeter, University College
Cork, City University and the University of East Anglia.
The ethos of the seminar is to stimulate discussion and
argument among people who share a fascination and love for
stories and storytelling and believe that stories open
valuable windows into the world of organizations and their
members. To this end, the number of participants is limited
to no more than 40 and the cost of participation is kept
low.

In this 12 storytelling seminar we wish to invite our
participants to a discussion about leadership and
globalisation and explore these issues through
storytelling. The seminar will cover a wide range of themes
and some of them are:
- Beyond Leadership - Eldership
- The use of myths in organizational
storytelling
- Knowledge creation through storytelling
- Storytelling as a means of negotiated diversity
