   Make Complexity Simple: Storytelling as a Leadership Skill

   In this mini episode of Let’s Take a Walk, we revisit a clip from a conversation Charlie had with Rob Carter where they explore one of the most underrated leadership capabilities: storytelling. Drawing from decades of experience at FedEx and beyond, Rob shares how great leaders use analogies and shared reference points to make complex technology understandable. Not to “sell” an idea, but to invite the business into it. From dominant design to digital twins, this conversation illustrates why clarity, not complexity, is what ultimately drives alignment and momentum. A short, practical listen for leaders navigating transformation who want their ideas to land. And stick. Learn more about Rob here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robcarter1/
