With humor and poignancy, this TED Video could be a leader development session by itself. Conductor and business consultant Itay Talgam shares the varying styles of great symphony conductors, revealing lessons on organizational behavior, emotional intelligence, leadership styles, and many others.
Watch this video with your team and keep the following questions in mind for discussion:
- What do Talgam’s points have to do with the conduct of military mission command?
- How do the conductors set boundaries and conditions for the orchestra?
- What role does emotional intelligence have in leadership?
- How do great leaders respond to change? What about setbacks or failure?
- What inspiration should the leader provide for the team? Does it depend on the type and talent of the team?
