Quotes on Music and Conducting: Insights on Leadership

Conductor's power lies in empowering others, not playing music. True leaders inspire greatness in their teams.

⊙ Quote of the Day: The Art of Leadership

The conductor of an orchestra doesn’t make a sound.

He depends, for his power, on his ability to make other people powerful.

- Benjamin Zander -

This quote is attributed to Benjamin Zander, conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, who is known not only for his music but also for his books on leadership and transformational education. In this quote, he emphasizes that a conductor doesn't create the sound themself, but their power lies in their ability to lead all the players in the orchestra to perform at their best. From his experience as an orchestra conductor, Zander emphasizes that a true leader is someone who maximizes the performance of his team members rather than his own. Successful teamwork is achieved when each member plays their part well and the harmony of the whole is realized. The leader's strength comes from the team members, making it the leader's role to help them perform to the best of their abilities.
