"The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra has earned rave reviews as one of the premier musical ensembles in the world. Recently, it has also attracted the attention and admiration of the corporate world. As the only major orchestra that rehearses, performs, and records without a conductor, Orpheus is a shining example of a new management style based on collaborative leadership." "Leadership Ensemble shows business leaders in any industry how to re-create the successful "Orpheus Process" in their own companies by dismantling top-heavy hierarchies; developing flexible, responsive strategies and decision-making procedures; and unleashing employee creativity, responsibility, and productivity. Based on three decades of performing experience and more than five years' partnership with corporations such as Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, Orpheus has identified and refined eight core principles, along with practical steps for putting the principles into practice and potential traps and landmines."--BOOK JACKET.
