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. 606 $aCreative ability in business 606 $aImprovisation (Acting) 606 $aCommunication in management 606 $aPsychology, Industrial 615 0$aCreative ability in business. 615 0$aImprovisation (Acting) 615 0$aCommunication in management. 615 0$aPsychology, Industrial. 676 $a650.1 700 $aKulhan$b Bob$01685199 702 $aCrisafulli$b Chuck 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828960403321 996 $aGetting to "yes and"$94057150 997 $aUNINA
