The Conductor: Learning to lead with David Lawrence

Leadership is not about following. To follow a leader is to behind that leader. True leadership is about being with your people, and them being with you.’ David Lawrence

If an orchestra is musically behind their conductor, the whole piece falls apart. They are led, but not through imitation of a precedent. Each instrument contributes their unique qualities to the ensemble, and it is the role of the conductor to celebrate and develop individual skill while guiding the whole group towards a common goal.

Top business leaders recognize the analogy between musical conducting and good leadership in business. David Lawrence is one of the world’s leading choral conductors. Learn from him the principles/secrets of successful conducting, and how this model of leadership can be transferred into the workplace to the benefit of business leaders and their teams.

In this workshop delegates get the exciting opportunity to conduct a group of people (perhaps their own work team) in a musical performance, to be performed and recorded in DVD footage.
