Let the dynamics of the arts inspire your team in an ever-changing world. Bring your team to new levels of creativity, teamwork, and leadership through a one-of-a-kind experiential workshop with the Memphis Symphony Orchestra.  Leading From Every Chair^® gives them the opportunity to delve into the kind of leadership and teamwork that lead to consistent stellar performances.    

What is Leading From Every Chair^®?

Leading From Every Chair^® is a day-long workshop that pulls back the curtain on the Memphis Symphony Orchestra to reveal effective teamwork, successful leadership and creative problem-solving that lead to stellar performance.

Through a series of hands-on activities, participants are: 

• Stimulated by the high level of personal commitment exhibited by each member of the orchestra and its impact on a successful final product.
• Challenged to evaluate their own communication style against the efficient, concise communication models presented by the orchestra.
• Inspired by the spirit of mutual respect and cooperation that lead to a clearly defined goal.  

While the musicians on stage might not seem to have much in common with business people, they share the same needs for clear, timely communication, inspiration, workplace respect, and motivation toward a specific goal. Leading From Every Chair^® takes apart the components of a working team, explores them from multiple perspectives, and then puts them all ogether into a finished product—the performance of a great piece of music. The workshop will give you the opportunity to observe, participate, reflect on and apply the principles observed to your work environment.
