A Symphony Conductor

Have you ever seen a Symphony conductor?

He's the guy standing there in the front facing the orchestra waving his hands all about.
It may look as if none of the musicians are even looking at him but he is a key person.

It is what he does before the show, the training, the attention to detail that he must have with EVERY musician in his orchestra that matters.

Are you in charge of a business, or are you are driver in charge of your crews or a principle of a school.
You are the symphony conductor of your business.

And like any great conductor you know that YOU are only as good as each and every person in your orchestra.
And if you are a musician in the group you know that you are ONLY as good as the person next to you.
You are judged, in the end, as a group.

You would never hear at the end of the day, man that third flute player from the left front was outstanding but the rest of the people stunk up the place.
No, they are ALL judged as a group, even the conductor- the guy in charge.

That is what we all must learn to be successful, we are only as strong as the people that we surround ourselves with. If someone needs more help, help them. If you can see or hear that someone could use some extra training, help train them.

It does not matter if you are the lead person or part of the crew.
That day you are ONE.

When you learn that, when you BELIEVE that- you will succeed- in business and in life.
