THERE’S MORE! --ACKNOWLEDGMENTS --NOTES --INDEXAmidst the deluge of advice for businesspeople, there lies an overlooked tool, a key to thriving in today's fast-paced, unpredictable environment: improvisation. In Getting to "Yes And" veteran improv performer, university professor, CEO, and consultant Bob Kulhan unpacks a form of mental agility with powers far beyond the entertainment value of comedy troupes. Drawing on principles from cognitive and social psychology, behavioral economics, and communication, Kulhan teaches readers to think on their feet and approach the most typical business challenges with fresh eyes and openness. He shows how improv techniques such as the "Yes, and" approach, divergent and convergent thinking, and focusing on being present can translate into more productive meetings, swifter decisions, stronger collaboration, positive conflict resolution, mindfulness, and more. Moving from the individual to the organizational level, Kulhan compiles time-tested teaching methods and training exercises into an instrumental guide that readers can readily implement as a party of one or a company of thousands.Creative ability in businessImprovisation (Acting)Communication in managementPsychology, IndustrialCreative ability in business.Improvisation (Acting)Communication in management.Psychology, Industrial.650.1Kulhan Bob1549877Crisafulli ChuckMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792637603321Getting to "yes and"3808247UNINA
