About this product

Product Information

When faced with complexity and constant change at work, what do the best leaders and teams do? They iterate. They invent. They improvise. They string together a syncopated and rhythmic way of working that gets the job done but in a way that allows for flexibility, new ways of work, and new avenues for opportunity. In short, they say yes to the mess that is today's fast-moving 24/7 business environment. Frank Barrett, jazz pianist and management scholar, says this improvisational jazz mindset - and the skills and competencies that go along with it - is crucial for effective leadership today.

You don't need to love jazz to love this book. (But you might afterwards). A great book for a fresh approach to creative thinking in the workplace
An incredible book that (whether you're a jazz fan or not) draws powerful parallels between the creative jam sessions of jazz with opportunities to encourage and support creativity in the workplace through embracing cognitive diversity and 'provocative competence'.
