Business Schools Using Improvisation Classes to Teach Skills Such as Creativity and Leadership

Here are some highlights from a recent CNN interview with Robert Kulhan, adjunct assistant professor at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business:

In a business world that's more uncertain than ever it pays to be able to think on your feet. That's why some business schools are using improvisation classes to teach skills such as creativity and leadership.

While many people might think of improvisation as unscripted comedy, it can apply to any form of spontaneous theater -- and practitioners say that using "improv" to teach business skills is no joke.

Improvisation isn't about comedy, it's about reacting -- being focused and present in the moment at a very high level.

As well as teaching people to react and adapt, improvisation can teach creativity, innovation, communication, teamwork and leadership.
