Loschiavo, Executive Director, Baiada Center 9:00 a.m. “The Leader of the Band: A Metaphor for Entrepreneurial Leadership” Few metaphors offer a richer parallel to entrepreneurial leadership than that of the musician/writer/composer/bandleader. Success as a musician requires creativity that is grounded in tested music theory. For a song to be successful it should have a unique and original sound that captures the unique style of the musician. It is not enough for the musician to randomly build a collage of musical notes and chords. Not all chords or notes go together. It is important for the writer or composer to first understand the basics, then to create an original sound from within those tested parameters. The ability to envision, plan, collaborate, improvise and create pace and tempo are all important, ultimately creating a song that communicates the musician's vision at an emotional level to the listener. Success as an entrepreneurial leader requires creativity and a focused agility grounded in tested business principles. Entrepreneurs frequently find themselves wearing the hat of musician, writer, composer and bandleader, all at the same time. Faced with limited resources, they need to rely on the instincts and skills of many to compete, and the ability to improvise often can mean the difference between success and failure.
