If you have been following this blog for a while you will know that I love to look at those who lead in very different spheres to me and see what applies in the places I lead.
Michael Hyatt is clearly interested in the same thing and has a number of posts on the subject. In this one he reflects on leadership lessons that can be learnt from a symphony conductor. Here is his summary:
- Start with a plan
- Recruit the best players
- Be visible, so everyone can see you
- Lead with your heart
- Delegate and focus on what only you can do
- Be aware of your gestures and their impact
- Keep your back to the audience
- Share the spotlight
