Molly Epstein and Kembrel Jones ’00MBA are featured in an upcoming book tentatively titled Wake Me Up When the Data Is Over: How Organizations Use Stories to Drive Results, edited by Lori Silverman. The two are featured in the chapter entitled “Growing Teams through Story,” authored by Susan M. Osborne. The chapter explores Jones’ use of storytelling to engage the MBAs and encourage community building, and highlights Epstein’s observations of the technique’s benefits to students as they use storytelling in interviews, case competitions, and conflict resolution. The book is slated for an August release with Jossey-Bass Publishers.
