WHAT YOU CAN LEARN FROM CONDUCTORS

“Can you learn to manage a business by conducting an orchestra? A conductor’s leadership and the musicians’ interactions produce an immediate result for all to see. Business results are more difficult to interpret because it takes more time to judge the outcome of initiatives. Still, all knowledge workers face the same pressures to succeed. Helping musicians overcome their doubts and fears and adapt to new ideas is one of the principal tasks of their manager – their conductor.” – The Globe and Mail (Canada)
