What can organizations learn from theatre to strengthen alignment, leadership, learning, and performance?

The answer is…. Plenty!

Last Fall, working with The Alliance Theatre and The Jewish Theatre of the South, I set out to discover……….

  • What can business organizations learn from theatre ensembles to strengthen alignment and high performance? 
  • W
    hat are the implicit and explicit characteristics of theatre, and theatre members that enable them to successfully align around a common goal, the performance?

    It makes sense the world of theatre offers organizations insights and lessons on the relationship between people, passion, and performance. After all, most everyone has attended theatre - listening attentively, moving to music, smiling and eager to recognize the talent at the final curtain. Theatre engages people!

    A theatre ensemble is a dynamic integration of performers in a production, tapping the inherent energy and skills of members and demanding each individual is aware of how his or her work aligns with fellow actors. An ensemble, like an organization is a system, a group of interdependent elements forming a complex whole, a condition of harmonious, orderly interaction. Performance is the culmination of their shared efforts. Whenever companies integrate the outcomes of work across many disparate business performances, they, too, perform theatre.

    When we look at what we do in business, as performance art, another opportunity is at our fingertips.

 


 

 

I would like to share my learnings with you and explore:

  • What kind of theatre you are creating? What kind of theatre do you want to create?
  • Are you, and/or your employees and clients getting rave reviews?
  •  Do you, and/or your employees have a passion to perform?
  • Are your leaders prepared to conduct your organization?

     

    Let’s talk.
