“Jazz demands cooperation, enterprise, creativity, measured risk, and so much more— and so does business. Adrian’s book is an entertaining guide for importing the jazz process into the world of business.”
Jack Chambers, linguistics professor at the University of Toronto and author of Milestones: The Music and Times of Miles Davis
“This book has an important message: Effective collaborations are like jazz improvisations. Jazz succeeds because the group shares just the right kind of rules and structures; business teams also need to improvise within the right kind of structure. Cho has years of experience playing jazz and working in business teams, and in this book he applies this experience to analyze the ways that effective business teams balance structure and freedom.”
R. Keith Sawyer, associate professor of psychology and education at Washington University and author of Group Genius: The Creative Power of Collaboration and many other books on creativity and innovation
