Orchestral Leadership: An Inspiration from the Musical World

Herlina Dyah Kuswanti

Abstract


The more flat the organization, the more protean the career. A career contract is no longer an agreement between a person and an organization, but an agreement between a person and the world of work. This is a challenge for management to link the workforce with the vision and mission of the organization. One solution is to apply an orchestral leadership style. In this leadership style, workers have freedom to find their own career direction while strengthening the vision and mission of the organization.
