There is a mystique about conducting which starts from the essence of a conductor’s role: to be at the heart of creating meaningful musical performances … without making a sound. In this session, Alastair Levy will draw on his initial career as an orchestral and operatic conductor – and his subsequent work as a government advisor, management consultant and executive coach – share his research on lessons for today’s leaders from outstanding conductors, and explore the relevance of these lessons to the interpersonal dynamics and collaboration that underpin the success of professional-services firms and their private clients.
