This session presents an experiential exercise for leadership development where students are asked to perform in front of their peers a 1-minute leadership speech of their choice. The debrief of the exercise allows discussion of the practical implications of a number of leadership theories and highlights the importance of improvisational skills for leadership and innovation, which is of relevance to the theme of OBTC 2017. The exercise demonstrates that a in a very limited time span of experiential exercises can be both a constraint and a resource for teaching and learning.
