Top of Mind Thursday October 26, 2017: Making Great Music Together

Top of Mind Thursday

This week I am in Bennington, Vermont for my annual week of piano immersion at Sonata piano camp.

One of the highlights of camp has become our annual Friday evening duet concert. All week, we work on ensemble pieces–two people on one piano, one person on each of two pianos, piano and another instrument (such as flute), and sometimes even four people on two pianos at once.

What becomes readily apparent is that even the best soloists need to adjust their playing style to work effectively in a group setting. No one wants to hear two people dueling to play the loudest, fastest or most difficult music. Instead, ensemble performance requires knowing where your partner needs to lead, when you need to step back, and how the two (or more) of you will work effectively together.

These skills are critical in all kind of other environments. We’ve seen sports teams where the best individual player isn’t able to work effectively with the rest of the team–and, as a result, another team walks away with the championship.

What are you doing in your organization to ensure your best performers understand how to harmonize effectively together? Only then can you create the kind of sweet music that brings about success.

Top of Mind Thursday October 19, 2017: If You See Something, Say Something

Top of Mind Thursday

Perhaps the most alarming thing about the tidal wave of allegations against famed Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein is how most people in the know were not shocked.

Weinstein was fired from his eponymous production company after a string of women came forward and accused him of sexual assault or rape. This was followed by scores of Hollywood insiders, including many famous actors, saying they had been accosted or knew someone who was. Even Weinstein’s brother said this didn’t surprise him. So if so many people knew about this why wasn’t anything said till now?

Probably because many of these women didn’t feel like they would be believed. They felt when it came down to their word vs. that of a man with the power to make or break their careers, they had better go away quietly and not cause trouble. It appears Weinstein’s firm actually budgeted hush money to make these problems go away. And the problem is not unique to Weinstein, or to Hollywood.

Most of us know better than to ignore a strange lump or chest pains–we know the consequences to our health can be dire if we don’t take action, that’s why there are people that do take care of their health by exercising and taking supplements to lose weight as the ones you can find at this Ultra Omega Burn review. Yet, how many times in our organizations do we turn away from a sign that something is not quite right? How often do we choose not to pay attention to that we really don’t want to see?

The security people tell us, if you see something, say something. That’s a value we need to instill in our organizations as well–for the good of all of us.
