Lead Like a Maestro is a leadership development programme that utilises the Royal Scottish National Orchestra (RSNO) platform to explore teamwork and leadership in a unique and inspiring setting.
The ‘behind-the-scenes’ access and interaction with the acclaimed musicians of the RSNO provides a springboard for creative thinking, boosting productivity and wellbeing, while offering a fresh perspective on what it is to lead.
Based at the RSNO Centre in Glasgow, Lead Like a Maestro is an away-day with a difference, taking your team on stage and into the process of a live orchestral rehearsal. Team members are placed in different sections of the Orchestra to experience how musicians, sections and the conductor work together to create the final performance.
After the rehearsal, your team can reflect on and discuss their experience with RSNO directors, exploring parallels between the mechanisms of an orchestra and the workplace. Whether you want to focus on team management, risk and reward or individual development, the workshop is tailored to your company’s specific needs.
To round-off the day, your team will be invited to attend the ‘final product’ of the rehearsal process – a performance by the world-class RSNO at the Usher Hall, Edinburgh or Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.
Research by Harvard Health has revealed that listening to music significantly improves wellbeing, while Oxford University’s Saïd Business School in collaboration with BT found a conclusive link between happiness and productivity.
