Getting to "Yes And": The Art of Business Improv de Bob Kulhan

Getting to "Yes And": The Art of Business Improv

Autor Bob Kulhan, Chuck Crisafulli
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 ian 2017

Diferența majoră între Getting to "Yes And" și restul literaturii de management constă în transformarea agilității mentale dintr-un concept abstract într-o unealtă de business cuantificabilă. În timp ce multe volume tratează improvizația ca pe o simplă metodă de divertisment, Bob Kulhan și Chuck Crisafulli demonstrează cum mecanismele din spatele spectacolelor de comedie pot fi aplicate riguros în consiliile de administrație. Notăm cu interes fundamentarea teoretică a cărții; autorii nu se limitează la intuiție, ci ancorează strategiile lor în psihologie cognitivă și economie comportamentală.

Putem afirma că abordarea de față diferă de cea din Putting Improv to Work prin gradul ridicat de aplicabilitate imediată. Dacă lucrarea lui Greg Hohn se concentrează pe procesul artistic transpus în mediul non-teatral, Getting to "Yes And" este mai puțin abstractă și mult mai orientată spre rezultate directe, oferind exerciții specifice pe care un manager le poate implementa într-o echipă de mii de oameni sau un liber profesionist le poate folosi individual. Suntem de părere că tehnica 'Yes, and' devine aici un instrument critic pentru rezolvarea conflictelor și pentru stimularea gândirii divergente și convergente.

Publicată de Stanford University Press, această lucrare în limba engleză reușește să mențină un echilibru între tonul autoritar al unui curs universitar și pragmatismul unui consultant CEO. Cititorul va învăța să fie prezent, să asculte activ și să transforme impredictibilitatea pieței într-un avantaj competitiv prin decizii mai rapide și o colaborare mai strânsă.

Descriere scurtă

Amidst 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.
