Lead the Way带路
In asking you to take what I hope you’ve learned about improvisation and apply it within the overall culture of your workplace, I am in effect asking you to become a very powerful agent of change. In transitioning from someone who is aware of improvisational techniques to someone who is actually going to apply those techniques to have an impact on others, it’s important to know where you stand in leadership qualities. To get you ready for the challenge, here’s a quick gut check on improvisational traits for leadership:
在要求您接受我希望您了解的即兴创作并将其应用于您的工作场所的整体文化中时，我实际上是在要求您成为变革的强大推动者。从知道即兴技巧的人过渡到实际上将要运用这些技巧对他人产生影响的人时，重要的是要了解自己在领导素质方面的地位。为了让您为挑战做好准备，以下是对即兴领导特质的快速检查：
1. Vision. Remind yourself that improvisation is not a magic cureall for every workplace, and not a silver bullet for every problem.It is a tool that has to be used properly. Think hard about how and when the tool of improvisation can be used to help you execute strategy.
1.愿景。提醒自己，即兴发挥并不是每个工作场所的万灵药，也不是每个问题的灵丹妙药，它是必须正确使用的工具。仔细考虑即兴工具如何以及何时可以用来帮助您执行策略。
2. Commitment. One “Yes, and” conversation with the FedEx guy is good practice. That said, if you’re going to embrace the use of improvisation, make the commitment to apply it thoughtfully and consistently in the situations where it can make a difference.
2.承诺。与FedEx员工进行一次“是，然后”对话是一种好习惯。就是说，如果您要接受即兴演奏的使用，请承诺在可能有所作为的情况下周到，一致地应用即兴演奏。
3. Courage. It takes guts to initiate change. Be courageous. Be daring. Let the people around you know: “We’re going to use these techniques, for this (specific) period of time to reach these (specific) desired outcomes, and I will lead us through it.” And keep things in perspective: we’re not talking about slaying a dragon here; we’re talking about making a meeting run better, and impacting people in a profound way.
3.勇气。发起变革需要胆量。要勇敢一点。大胆让周围的人知道：“我们将在这段（特定的）时间段内使用这些技术，以达到所需的（特定的）预期结果，我将带领我们完成这项工作。”并保持观点正确：我们不是在谈论在这里杀死一条龙；我们正在谈论使会议更好地进行，并以深远的方式影响人们。
4. Time. Give yourself time to struggle as well as time to figure out what your authentic voice is. Finding your voice may require knocking yourself out of your comfort zone or trying out some voices that don’t feel natural at first. Find the one that fits and then practice with it over and over again. The purpose of improv is better, more authentic communication, so if you’re leading from your heart your voice must be authentic.
4.时间。给自己一些时间奋斗，同时让自己弄清楚自己的真实声音是什么。找到您的声音可能需要将自己从舒适区域中拉出来，或者尝试一些一开始并不自然的声音。找到一个合适的，然后一遍又一遍地练习。即兴创作的目的是更好，更真实的沟通，因此，如果您发自内心地领导，您的声音就必须真实。
5. Integrity. Be cognizant of your core values and who you are as a person. That’s a big part of what you bring to your work role and your leadership position.
5.诚信。意识到自己的核心价值观以及作为一个人的身份。这是您担任工作角色和领导职务的重要组成部分。
6. Awareness. Be mindful of your emotions, actions, and language. Practice the skill of a self-audit daily to be certain you are impacting others the way you want to impact them. Additionally,be mindful of your team, the individuals in the team, your environment, and yourself. The variables in the equation that makes up a team, leading a team, and leadership are dynamic and can shift from day to day. Mindfulness and self-auditing should be part of your daily work routine.
6.意识。注意您的情绪，行为和语言。每天练习自我审核的技巧，以确保您以影响他人的方式影响他人。此外，请注意您的团队，团队中的个人，您的环境以及您自己。组成团队，领导团队和领导力的方程式中的变量是动态的，并且每天都在变化。正念和自我审核应成为您日常工作的一部分。
7. Objectivity. Be mindful at the end of the day to assess what worked for you and what didn’t work. Why did something not go the way you thought it would? Or why did something start to succeed and then fall apart? What can you do differently to avoid these pitfalls in the future? Conversely why did something succeed? Or why did something feel like a train wreck at first and then work out after all? What can you replicate for future success? Things don’t just work because they work, or fail because they fail. Be as thoughtful about your process after the results are achieved as you were before the process started.
7.客观性。一天结束时要小心，以评估对您有用的和无效的。为什么有些事情没有按照您的想法去做？还是为什么某事开始成功然后崩溃了？您可以采取哪些不同措施来避免将来出现这些陷阱？相反，为什么成功了？还是为什么有些东西起初像火车残骸，然后又变坏了呢？您可以复制什么以取得未来的成功？事情不仅仅是因为它们起作用而失败，还是因为它们失败而失败。在获得结果之后，与在过程开始之前一样对过程进行周到的考虑。
8. Adaptability. Just like there is no single, universal equation to create a great leader, there is no formula to stick to when applying these techniques. This is improvisation, for Pete’s sake. Adapt and tweak as necessary to get things to work the way you want them to work. Take the foundation that we have been building in this book and make the process your own.
8.适应性。就像没有一个通用的方程式可以创建出色的领导者一样，应用这些技术时也没有公式可以遵循。皮特，这是即兴创作。进行必要的调整和调整，以使事情按您希望的方式工作。以此作为我们在本书中建立的基础，并根据自己的需要来制定流程。
