A disappointing read following <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18722359-do-purpose" target="new">Do Purpose</a>, <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17971839-do-improvise" target="new">Do Improvise</a> is a book for extoverts that revel in improvisation, team building exercises, and role-play. For introverts, such as myself, the exercises suggested in this book are our worst nightmare. Robert Poynton attempts to provide ways in which we can deal with the unplanned and the unexpected by embracing the situation by making it our advantage by "winging it" and improvising. <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17971839-do-improvise" target="new">Do Improvise</a> promises to help you become more productive without trying harder; help overcome creative blocks and generate new ideas; respond to circumstances beyind your control; help inspire and motivate others. Unfortunately it fails to deliver since it only offers one method of doing so that is undoubtedly only suited to the behaviour of extroverts.
