How to work with a Storyteller

Give them time to prepare and they'll represent you better than anyone. Rush them and the polish drops.

Hiring a Storyteller (IC)

Excels out front: sales, partnerships, customer-facing work. Check for follow-through before handing them back-office detail. The secondary C means you also get rigorous and thorough; interview for it directly instead of assuming.
