Session: The story box
Session
In this talk, Michael Lopp will tell you a story about stories. From almost 30 years of leadership, Lopp will not only tell you stories from Slack, Pinterest, Netscape, Borland, and that start-up you’ve never heard of, but also why the art of storytelling is integral to your leadership toolkit.
