Improvisation for Leaders
Using the Art and Practice of Improvisational Theater to be effective
Leaders as Public and Elected Officials.
"Imagination is more important than knowledge."
Albert Einstein
In order to effectively lead a local, state or federal government, elected and public officials must be able to listen organically, navigate change wisely, and be flexible in creative problem solving.
Listening is about really taking in what is said in a proactive and responsive way.
Change is about pattern breaking, and learning from moment to moment. To be able to effectively lead, we must be able to creatively use our imaginations.
Today's governing environment requires elected and appointed leaders to open up to new ideas, gain flexibility in thought, take risks where possible, and be willing to work successfully in ambiguous and often uncertain situations.
These are skills that well-trained improvisers gain through improv workshops. Successful elected officials and improvisers both have to make in the moment decisions, respond creatively to ever-changing information, work to make others on their team look good, and see things from many diverse perspectives. They need to create, synthisize and innovate. Elected leaders need to make relevant connections with constiutents, co-leaders, managment employees -----and seek out the good of their entire community.
