Clues for bad drivers.... ...like myself. From a professional truck driver, rules of the road to remember when driving around truckers. Some of them apply to all driving situations, such as "you are not as good a driver as you think you are," "SUVs are not suits of armor," and my favorite, "If you've been cruising blithely along in the left (or center, on a three-lane highway) lane for a half-hour or so, please consider moving the fuck over, you selfish ass-pirate." (I almost spewed soda all over my monitor when I read that one.) [jarretthousenorth News]
Loved this rules of the road story in its own right. Well written, to the point, useful, and funny. But I couldn't immediately figure out why it stuck in the back of my mind until the next morning.
This piece is also an excellent case example of the power of good storytelling in knowledge management. It's also an example that good storytelling and good knowledge management can be about the most seemingly mundane topics. The ability to capture the telling detail and the capacity to trigger reflection for the reader are what make knowledge management work at its best.
So, go read the rules of the road for your future driving safety and for fun. And then think about how to become a better storyteller about your own work, whatever that might be.
