“Luckily, the latest discoveries in technology, nature, and systems theory give us an entirely new model of both performance and leadership—a model that is not dependent on the decisions of a single charismatic leader but the collective wisdom that picks up the pulse of the group. As in jazz improvisation, this new model involves a constant giving and taking, where everyone contributes and the dross falls away. When we find the connections between one another, and follow what’s present, the interdependence of all things guides us. Nowhere is this more evident than in the performing arts, where the principles of ensemble-theater (working as a group) have been practiced, developed, and demonstrated on stages for centuries. What can the theater teach us about ways to channel the collective wisdom of the group for new ideas and breakthrough performance?”
