<p><i><b>What Duke Ellington and Miles Davis teach us about leadership</b></i></p> <p>How do you cope when faced with complexity and constant change at work? Here’s what the world’s best leaders and teams do: they improvise. They invent novel responses and take calculated risks without a scripted plan or a safety net that guarantees specific outcomes.
