Reviews

Status roles and improv are at the heart of what makes our culture tick. In this detailed and insightful book, Dudeck and McClure share so much of what we need to understand to do the work and make an impact. * Seth Godin, author of This is Marketing * The Applied Improvisation Mindset allows us to understand how improvisation can create a specific mindset to surf the waves of these unpredictable times. Dudeck and McClure have edited a crucial title for all kinds of professionals who want to make a difference in the world and make it now. * Mariana Lima Muniz, Professor of Drama, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil * Dudeck and McClure serve (again!) as indispensable guides and translators of how the wisdom and magic of improv can apply to (and transform) everyday group work and life. * Priya Parker, facilitator and author of The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters *
