To accomplish anything, you need the help of others. Successful teams are composed of members who are continually improving how they interact and communicate. Collaboration, creativity, and results grow out of an environment that is honest, positive, and affirming. Improvisation is about creating a positive environment where actors take an idea and then collaborate to co-create another great idea. In today’s world, a superstar does not sit in his office and emerge with a great idea. Great ideas evolve through group interaction. Experienced improvisational actor Kupe Kupersmith shares key improvisation techniques, including “Yes, and…” and “Answer Man” that help you become a more attentive, adaptive, and open-minded team member. The lessons learned help you stay in the present, temporarily suspend judgment, think on your feet, keep conversations moving forward, and listen generously―skills that build positive, trust-based, results-oriented teams. Adopt the improv mindset, and be more confident in collaboration, decision making, and negotiation.
