Zusammenfassung: Starting a new venture requires specialized survival skills that are more craft than science. Each employs the exquisitely difficult-to-master but potentially generative and stabilizing art of improvisation.This book encourages startup founders to maintain control of their destiny by obsessively perfecting their startup’s story and key relationships as much as its initial product or service. It highlights the importance of improvisation in the incubation of startups. Startup founders can maintain control of their destinies by developing the skills of venture craftsmen, learning to behave more like explorers and artisans than managers. Tinkering, wandering, listening, and conversing, they will overcome the limitations of scientifically-based “ lean” methodologies. These improvisational arts provide wobbly, nascent ventures with stability and conserve momentum during early-stage incubation. Like the gimbals of a gyroscope, they counter the entropy born of conflict and confusion that is continuously pushing young enterprises towards chaos. These startups become fault tolerant. Vignettes in each chapter describe hardscrabble stories of entrepreneurs, craftsmen, and venturers - some recent, others historical - recounting the challenges they faced, their responses, and the outcomes. Those who read this book will learn the timeless skills that entrepreneurs need to incubate new ventures.Zusammenfassung: 1. Ode to the venture craftsman -- 2. Mastering the art of tinkering -- 3.
