The Connected leadership Podcast: 'The Ignorant Maestro'

For the next two weeks we will be exploring Connected Leadership Gold, past episodes that you may have missed. This week, Andy's guest is Itay Talgam, conductor of the Tel Aviv Philharmonic Orchestra.  Andy and Itay discuss what leaders can learn from the great conductors. A new conductor meeting with an orchestra, has to build trust often from resistance. The art of the conductor is to take a group of highly skilled, artistic individuals, making them one and creating beautiful music.  Andy and Italy talk about the importance of having a dialogue; of creating relationships with musicians in the orchestra and agreeing together on the meaning of the music; what is the music saying? Andy and Itay also discuss the importance of getting the conductor's message across and how to control the outcome. Command and control leadership can stifle creativity. This is the importance of developing professional relationships. Please note there is no Thursday episode.
