This book explores and demonstrates the transformative learning experiences that organizations and their leaders can derive from the arts. It is through the arts that we have always explored our humanity: through dance and music; art and sculpture; theatre and poetry. The arts allow us to explore our own selves and our relationship to others and to the world around us. This central role of the arts is commonly accepted in everyday life, but the implications of this are not typically extended to the world of business.The authors argues strongly that, to the contrary, the methodologies and approaches that are fundamental to performing artists of all kinds can provide exactly the kind of inspirational, people-centred and performance-related techniques that are missing from much of the typically mechanistic, systems-based and process-driven training and development of managers and executives. Technical proficiency and expertise are not enough to deliver an award-winning result; what enables a truly outstanding performance is the elusive but entirely recognizable element of artistry – the spark that transforms a technically good performance into something extraordinary.

REVIEWS

The humanities and the arts contain powerful lessons for leaders. The practice and discipline of the performing arts and the experiential insights they bring make fertile territory for leadership development. The lessons learned can be pivotal – they stick.

Tracey Camilleri, Director Oxford Strategic Leadership Programme, Saïd Business School, University of Oxford

Takes us under the skin of performing artists and reveals the techniques and mindsets they use in search of a winning performance. The fictionalized approach brings everything to life and shows clearly how relevant these techniques are for all of us.

Neil Jacobsohn, FutureWorld – the Global Business & Technology Think Tank

Goes right to the heart of what really drives business performance- the behaviours and mindsets of individuals. The innovative approach the authors take really brings to life the experiential nature of working with performing artists and draws out the lessons we can all use for our own success.

Robert Williams, Transformation Director, Denton Williams Consulting

But this century is about high frequency change: rapid, smaller waves, each powerful enough to disrupt an industry.
