As a teacher at a business school, a lover of improv and all things improvisational, and a good humored human--it is so so good. The authors apply the rules of improv games to leadership and management and OMG I want to work for a boss who bosses like this!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful for your own group or relationships *by J***E on June 27, 2019* Second City is an improvisational comedy enterprise, best known as the historically first on-going improvisational theater troupe, continually based in Chicago. Some of the best comedians learned their trade there: Tina Fey, Bill Murray, Steve Carell, Amy Poehler, Stephen Colbert, to name a few. This book is about how the authors have used the principles of improvisational theater to assist businesses to improve their emotional intelligence, increase creativity, and learn to pivot out of tight and uncomfortable situations. One of the things they have learned is that leadership traits are more commonly found in women than men, i.e., they are better listeners, better at building relationships, and more collaborative. When the authors work with corporations, they have them do the same exercises that they teach actors. The core exercise is “Yes, And.” The central idea here is that you accept what is offered and add to it (regardless of what you think of it). In fact, say Leonard and Yorton, "Yes, And is the lens through which we view our entire business and our place in the world. We are here to affirm and build upon people’s ideas in a way that’s smart, thoughtful, useful, interesting . . . and usually, uproariously funny.” In the appendix they list each exercise, many of which are useful for your own groups or relationships. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/12137231-yes-and-how-improvisation-reverses-no-but-thinking-and-improves](https://www.desertcart.id/products/12137231-yes-and-how-improvisation-reverses-no-but-thinking-and-improves) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
