But somehow when the conductor rapped his baton, he couldn't get everyone on the same line let alone on the same note. Here are several traits that I have found to be helpful for leaders who want to create an artistic masterpiece. Leaders manage the dream. A dream is a wonderful thing, but until the conductor can make it understood by the entire orchestra, it will remain an unfulfilled dream. When the dream is fully understood, it becomes a living experience.
Leaders embrace error.
Leaders encourage reflective feedback. Informed critique is important in creating a masterpiece. Leaders encourage dissent. Surround yourself with people who have strengths you do not have. Do not fill your organization with clones.
