Music & Leadership opens new visions as to the art of leadership. By looking at the organization of an orchestra and the leadership of a conductor, parallels for managing a department or company can be drawn. The music conductor provides the business leader an innovative and creative perspective on leadership. Leading music conductors in their unique way effectively implement key leadership skills - providing vision; making fast, decisive decisions; gaining trust and respect, managing diversity; making musicians overcome their expectations and enabling them to perform their best, motivate and inspire.
