Did you know that ‘improv’ training can improve teamwork, communication, presentation skills, and creative problem-solving, and can strengthen a company’s overall corporate culture? In this week’s episode of The Manager Track podcast, you’ll hear my conversation with Erin Diehl, where we discuss how the mindsets of improv are transferrable to leadership and teamwork, and how letting go and embracing failure will actually make you a stronger leader.
