Preliminary results show that four core “rules” (also known as emotional andcommunication messages for success) may in fact lead to misinterpretations and can sidetrackproductive engagement for creation and collaboration: a) Repeating for perfection: in fact,people report that they do not find flawless storytelling believable; b) Interacting one-on-onewithin a large audience: the opposite may be true when you apply a “planned spontaneous” andpersonally unique leadership approach in storytelling; c) Applying a template to tell andmemorize one story: in contrast, there are reasons to start in the middle of the story to find a newand powerful beginning; d) Describing a generic user story so as to only present a stereotype of apersona: both

At the beginning of the meeting the supervisor wouldlook over each student’s homework to ensure they attempted all the problems. Then eachstudent was asked to present a portion of their problem set. The problems selected by thesupervisors for students to present were those that required the application of important anddifficult concepts covered in the course.Each student in the group would be asked to present a portion of their solution using awhiteboard. The portion assigned was selected so that the presentation would require about tenminutes. Students were allowed to use their notes, but expected to explain each step
