ABSTRACT

The power of the independent activity to create meaningful, real circumstances is what sets it apart from other models of training involving scenario work. This includes improvisation, which is one of the most popular tools in leadership and business training. Improvisation is an excellent tool for training certain qualities that might at first seem like leadership, such as problem solving skills, planning, or group synergy if it is an improvisation involving more than two people. People can be quite raw and open coming out of the exercise; give them a chance to get their bearings so they won’t be overwhelmed with feedback. The demands of the moment might ask for a large expression of behaviour or a subtle one, or a deep response, but what it does mean is every moment when the exercise is done properly is filled with meaning.
