You already know that theres no script for effective leadership...
Thats why Improv Leadership reveals five skills that will help you unleash your own leadership potential on every unexpected challenge and status quo.
Anyone can read books and apply lessons, but only the best can develop what they know to bring out the best in any person or circumstance. These natural leaders understand the key principles of connecting, coaching, and communicating and use these ideas to build strong teams.
In Improv Leadership, Stan Endicott and David Miller share five leadership competencies that all great, improvisational leaders have:
IMPROV leaders apply these five competencies to initiate powerful conversations, create memorable moments with forward momentum, and craft personal coaching strategies that help people, and teams, grow.
The five competencies of IMPROV Leadership are not rigid steps to follow. They are fluid and can be applied to any industry of field. You cant predict every challenge youll face. Theres no playbook that covers every decision. But you can cultivate teams of people who love their work (and each other) and who perform at a high level. And you can lead well in any situation.

To all the leaders who are tired
of the status quo and are ready
to create a culture where their
team loves what they do
The purposes of a persons
heart are deep waters,
but one who has insight
draws them out.
Proverbs 20:5
A lmost twenty years ago, Stan Endicott, one of the co-authors of the book you are holding, gave me a life-altering piece of advice. He said to me, Mike, never sit at a desk. If you have a desk, they will expect you to sit at it. Today I look back on that conversation, and I can see how that simple statement has profoundly shaped my life. With that small nugget of wisdom, spoken at that moment, all the pieces came into alignment, setting a new course for my life.
Why was that statement so catalytic, such a nuclear truth for me? I felt seen and heard, and I felt empowered and validated. Stan knew how I was wired, and he wanted to bump me in a direction that would allow me to thrive. He knew me well enough to know I would die at a typical desk job. And he knew I would come alive if I was able to follow my own unique path.
What Stan was doing in that conversation twenty years ago was powerful and life-changing. Its called IMPROVleadership.
Now its your turn to sit under the tutelage of Stan and his coauthor, David. The two of them have partnered together, taking decades of experience in coaching leaders and purifying it down to the most potent competencies. In the pages of this book, you wont find a precise scientific approach or a step-by-step process. Instead, youll find wisdom that shapes the flow and posture you take in coaching and leading others. IMPROVleadership is more an art than a sciencea creative and kinder process to guiding someones life. IMPROVleadership is about releasing our need to control others and allowing something beautiful to be born.
When Stan spoke into my life and warned me against having a desk, I knew something new had been released inside me. His words gave birth to a way of life, something I could never have imagined at that time. Stans words unleashed a calling to live my purpose, impact as many people as possible, and live out an epic adventure. And it all started with a little improvand whole lotta love.
Mike Foster
P EOPLE OF THE S ECOND C HANCE
To our families:
I (Stan) am grateful to Connie, Sara, Nate, and Crystal for living these stories with me. My dad and mom gave me a childhood that is beyond wonderful. Dad taught me the real stuff that is included in this book.
I (David) could not be more thankful to my incredible family. Ashley, Isaac, Noah, and Penny were guinea pigs as we developed the tools we use in our competencies. I spent many a date night with my wife sharing our Six-Sketch Storyboards around the most impactful moments weve had in our marriage or with our kids. Each of you make me better.
