Abstract
Studies show that improvisation in corporate leadership decision making is on the rise and it transpires in the corporate 75-90% of the time, yet very little research has explored this skillset. No other corporate leadership skillset that is applied two thirds of the time has ever been so underdeveloped. The purpose of this article was to assess the effects of a workshop applying a Holistic Improvisational Corporate Leadership Model as developed by the researcher and based on the latest improvisation research. The study employed a mixed methods design to gather qualitative and quantitative data for a descriptive evaluation of the training workshop. No proportional quota sampling and triangulation were used to maximize cross verification and validity of the data. This article explored the skills corporate leaders acquired and applied during, immediately after 1 month after the workshop and in 3 months.
