Off Scr!pt: Mastering the Art of Business Improv
Peter Margaritis — Instructor of Professional Practice for the School of Accounting in the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University
Going OFF SCR!PT doesn’t come naturally to most organizational leaders. We want to control the narrative, ensure ideal outcomes, script the conversations, manage the problems, predict the future, and win (negotia- tions, new business, market share, and more). But what if good leaders could become better leaders by doing the opposite — by letting go of the control, by going “off script” in their conversations and negotiations, by being present instead of rushing to the future, and by collaborating in authentic, empathetic ways.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
• Embrace the philospohy of “Yes! And” • Recognizing that over-preparing is the key
• Read the audience and be prepared to go “Off Scr!pt” • Implement the strategy of “listen to understand” • Develop an adaptability strategy • Design a collaborative culture and trust your team • Value taking risks
