Banking leaders to learn about risk from music

I don’t know about you out there, but I would love to understand exactly what these guys are going to learn, watching theatre people do things that really don’t relate to the banking environment whatsoever. Ok so the general concept of risk is the same, but surely the context
is completely different?
Without a strong awareness of their own behaviours and responses, and their effect on the people around them, in the context of the work they actually do, I really can’t see how this programme is going to achieve any real results or changed behaviours for the participants. I also wonder how the results are going to be measured?
It is ‘hoped’ that they will learn to ‘pick up’ on ways of giving feedback…..I should think this is the minimum requirement! Call me old-fashioned, but that doesn’t sound like a solid learning objective to me.
There’s a great quote from John Adair that comes to mind in the context of this article: ““You learn by doing and experience, and by developing an awareness and understanding. It’s simple but not easy”. Here’s the linking article.
