This document discusses how principles from jazz improvisation can be applied to management. It uses Miles Davis' transition to electric jazz in the late 1960s as a case study. Over several "sprints", Davis incorporated more electric instrumentation and rock elements into his music, culminating in the landmark album "Bitches Brew". The document argues managers can learn from the jazz principles of affirmative competence, constructive failure, followship, and provocative competence to foster innovation within teams. Provocative competence involves skillfully challenging routines to trigger new ideas, similar to how Davis pushed musicians' boundaries.

Financial Freedom -- Life Insurance As An Asset Classguardiancds21
Whole life insurance is experiencing renewed interest as an investment during difficult economic times. It provides a death benefit as well as a guaranteed cash value that policyholders can borrow against tax-free. This "living benefit" offers a source of funds when other investments are performing poorly or access to cash is problematic. While more expensive than term life initially, whole life is seen as a conservative investment that is not tied to stock market performance and guarantees growth of cash value that can supplement retirement or be used in emergencies. It is being used increasingly for estate planning, business purposes like funding buy-sell agreements, and diversifying investment portfolios during periods of market volatility.
