The Maestro Method: Leadership Reorchestrated for Today's Executives
“Music is one of the most beautiful examples of what it means to be fully human. The love, patience, discipline, and care that a musician gives to each note they play and to their colleagues playing with them in any given musical moment acts as a powerful lesson for how we as human beings can treat ourselves and each other.”
