Jazz Leadership
“I used to think that running an organization was equivalent to conducting a symphony orchestra. But I don't think that's quite it; it's more like jazz. There is more improvisation.” - Warren Bennis Jazz is a great metaphor for leadership so I thought it would be interesting to explore how running an organisation might be more like improvisation.

What Instrument Do You Play In The Symphony Of Life?
It is sometimes hard to figure out your place in life. What is your purpose? What are you meant to do in life? I like to think of life as a large symphony. Each player in the symphony plays a certain part. There are different instruments in each section –piano, violins, cellos, flutes, trumpets, percussion. Each section seeks to play in harmony with the other.

Some of them, like the cymbals player, would perform five or six seconds during the entire evening, while the cellist had one part that would extend over 20 minutes. As they warmed up, the "music" sounded like noise to me.

I hear a lot of talk about life/work balance and I think most of it is nonsense. The word balance for me implies equal. I prefer the word harmony, therefore life/work harmony. My personal and business life are not equal or in balance and are never likely to be. They are in harmony with one another, that is, they work together like a symphony, two sides of the same coin.
