As a human mode of operation, story is an essential framework and clarifying tool for followers and leaders alike. As relational connections have multiplied and digitized, and story exposure is at an all-time high, our “story intelligence” can become taxed to the point of paralysis. Participants will actively engage others in storytelling games and activities to better understand personal and collective followership by identifying as characters within stories. Through this, we aim to refine our understanding of ourselves as responsible values-actors within our communities and hone our first line of defense against being passive “watchers” in the postmodern age.
