I am a fan of TED.com, a resource of brief and powerful presentations by leading lights in a wide variety of fields. I ran across this presentation by Israeli conductor Itay Talgam. Talgam is talking about leadership and in so doing he reviews the approaches of half a dozen different conductors. He covers topics such as power and control, discipline, connection, listening, and ultimately what it takes to bring out the best in an orchestra. A brilliant piece, and the final video with Leonard Bernstein makes his point without a single word. Enjoy! (...and share with your teams!)
