No one gave us explicit permission to test the boundaries of our imagination when we were small; we just did it naturally because we had imagination in abundance. And though we may not have felt our imaginative instinct slip away (for most of us) as we grew older, it did recede over time, as qualities like maturity and responsibility wrestled their way into more prominent positions. Not that our imagination disappeared entirely as we grew older, it just went into hibernation. And there it has stayed, unless we summoned it forth on rare occasions to help our adult selves out.<\/p>\n<p>So you might be a bit surprised to find out that some business students are being asked to awaken their imaginations and reignite that spontaneous play of youth\u2014<em>in the classroom<\/em>. In what class would they do this, you ask? Why, in their improv class, of course. And just what are business students doing taking improv classes, you may wonder? The answer\u2019s easy: they\u2019re honing critical professional skills like creativity, teamwork, and the ability to venture out from the safe cocoon of their comfort zones to take risks. That\u2019s right\u2014 core courses like finance and accounting are still essential but because the real world isn\u2019t all linearity and logic, soft skills, particularly in leadership roles, are more important than ever before. And business students sometimes need a push to momentarily set aside their analytical tendencies and think in new ways. Improv courses (even acting classes) are helping students to do just that.<\/p>\n<p>So what\u2019s the first rule of an improv class? It turns out to be pretty easy to remember. In Julia Flucht\u2019s article \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/2012\/12\/05\/166484466\/it-s-improv-night-at-business-school\">When the Art of the Deal Includes Improv Training<\/a>,\u201d she describes MIT instructor Daena Giardella\u2019s essential axiom in two words: \u201cYes, and.\u201d So, what exactly does that mean? Let\u2019s say in a scene with your improv partner, you suddenly get the suggestion that it\u2019s time to go from riding bumper cars to, say, battling Vikings. By employing the sole rule of improv you would respond by saying: \u201c<em> <strong>Yes<\/strong>\u2026<strong>and<\/strong> <\/em>&#8230;let\u2019s pick up magic wands on the way to zap them into compliant kittens.\u201d In one small motion, you\u2019ve agreed with your partner and added to the storyline. But just why exactly is it so important to agree with your improv partner?<\/p>\n<p>Part of what\u2019s key to an improv exercise is a \u201csuspension of judgment,\u201d which Mark Tutton brings up in his article \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2010\/BUSINESS\/02\/18\/improvisation.business.skills\/index.html\">Why Using Improvisation To Teach Business Skills is No Joke<\/a>.\u201d He quotes Fuqua professor Robert Kulhan as saying: \u201cImprovisation isn&#8217;t about comedy, it&#8217;s about reacting\u2014being focused and present in the moment at a very high level.\u201d And reacting as coolly as a chilled cucumber means escaping what Kulhan describes as \u201canalysis paralysis.\u201d Tutton quotes Kulhan as saying: \u201cThere&#8217;s a misconception in business that you have to be 100% correct 100% of the time, whereas the truth is you have to be 100% correct about 10% of the time\u2014the rest of the time you have to just make decisions\u2026if you just make a decision you&#8217;ll have room to adapt and react.\u201d Remaining free of judgment makes snappier decision-making more possible, and without the fear of making an unalterable error.<\/p>\n<p>So what if you seemingly can\u2019t find the time or mental space in your hectic day-to-day schedule to shake your hibernating imagination out of its slumber? What if you just can\u2019t get into the improv swing of things? Don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s a common reaction, and it\u2019s called \u201cidea blocking.\u201d Here\u2019s also where there\u2019s a really strong parallel between improv and the work environment: \u201cGiardella says idea blocking happens all the time in the business world. And one of the most common blocks is the \u2018yes, but\u2019. Even though you say \u2018yes\u2019, the \u2018but\u2019 says, &#8216;Yeah, but that&#8217;s not really valid because here is the better point,'&#8221; wrote Fluch.<\/p>\n<p>The more students practice improv techniques, writes Fluch, the more mindful they become of catching themselves saying \u201cyes, but\u201d to their peers\u2014in and outside of the class. That alone can be a very valuable bit of self-awareness to take with them out into the real world as they establish themselves in new careers, and strive to be effective team players and leaders.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also an element of failure in the class, writes Fluch, which can really get business students in a bit of a tizzy. Fluch quotes Giardella as saying: &#8220;Usually I get so many eyebrows going up because of course in a business environment, and certainly an academic environment, use the word \u2018fail\u2019 and people take notice\u2026But as an improviser, you gotta know how to rebound. It&#8217;s not about whether you make the perfect offer, it&#8217;s about how you rebound if you don&#8217;t.&#8221; In essence, every so-called failure creates another opportunity to learn something new and to incorporate that new knowledge going forward.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, given that there\u2019s no insurance (that we know of) to guard against failure, how we manage to pick ourselves up when we have in fact fallen down (with some dignity, we hope) is really what matters most. While an improv class may not help build a more effective marketing plan, or financial model, it will help contend with all the unanticipated \u201cfires\u201d and team dysfunctions that crop up on our professional journeys. So before you rush to tell someone \u201cno,\u201d think of saying \u201cyes.\u201d And before you add the word \u201cbut,\u201d try to force out an \u201cand.\u201d If you have to add something about outer space, monsters, or Vikings, have at it. A little levity can go a long way\u2014and not just in an improv class.<\/p>\n<p>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/thisisbossi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Thisisbossi<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Hult offers a range of highly skills-focused and employability-driven business school programs including a range of MBA options and a comprehensive one year Masters in International Business.
