Lead Like the Great Conductors

A TED Talk. On the assumption that leadership and management is analogous to directing an orchestra, Israeli conductor Itay Talgam looks to the styles of six of the greatest conductors of the 20th century for lessons on how to get the most out of any collaboration. Learn how listening and reacting well are learnable skills as important to creating a great company as a beautiful symphony. “[A conductor’s] happiness does not come from only his own story and his joy of the music. The joy is about enabling other people’s stories to be heard at the same time.”
