Last week, I met one of the world’s most renowned and influential conductors in recent years. A charming and quirky Israeli gentleman by the name of Itay, a Hebrew word meaning “with me”, brought all of us together “with him” during a very lively and interactive lecture at Knowmads headquarters. I was left speechless, frankly, and if you know me you understand that this is a next to impossible challenge to tackle. True to his message of compassionate leadership, he showed a great deal of interest in each and every one in the room as we explored our relationships to music, each other, and life. I close this brief post with a link to Itay’s speech on TED and with words from the man himself:
“Joy is about enabling other people’s stories to be heard at the same time.”
I couldn’t have found a more fitting definition of true tribal leadership.
