From TED comes this video about leadership and it's brilliant parallel with conducting an orchestra. From the youtube description 'An orchestra conductor faces the ultimate leadership challenge: creating perfect harmony without saying a word. In this charming talk, Itay Talgam demonstrates the unique styles of six great 20th-century conductors, illustrating crucial lessons for all leaders.'
It runs the gamut of leadership styles and how they all can be seen in conducting orchestras. The video also makes us question our own leadership style: - Does leading necessarily require control ? - Do we tell our own stories or help others tell their story ? Can others develop their skill under our leadership or can they just apply it ? - Is there a purpose in our leadership or is it a technique we are applying ? - Can we create the processes and the structure to allow others feel and be free to express themselves ? ... And what I believe is the most important question : Are we having fun ?
