Imagine you’re in a meeting, ideas flying around, and someone pitches a wild concept. Instead of shutting it down, you respond, “Yes, and…”
This is the principle of “Yes, And.” It’s a tool from improv comedy that is useful in business, too.
When you say “Yes,” you validate the other person’s idea.
It shows respect.
Adding “And” builds on the idea.
It encourages creativity and collaboration.
This principle transforms conflict into cooperation.
Try it in your next conversation. You’ll see immediate results.
