An exciting approach to organizational management and structure, this book is based off of one of the most innovative organizations out there, the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, which is an acclaimed touring musical ensemble that has, for over 3 decades, successfully operated without a conductor. This sort of model quickly led to an innovative and fresh new management style, one based on collaborative leadership. The book shows how other organizations can successfully emulate the “Orpheus Process” by eliminating top-heavy hierarchies, and developing flexible strategies, which in turn lead to an explosion of employee creativity, responsibility, and productivity. The authors present 10 core principles of collaborative leadership, and they back up their claims through lively anecdotes and lessons from the everyday happenings of Orpheus, along with case studies of prominent businesses around the world. A truly “entertaining, eminently practical guide to implementing changes essential to survival in today’s speed-of-light business environment”.
