Interactive Lecture: „Conducting an orchestra as management task in an artistic collective“
Emotional and structural requirements of an orchestra in analogy to group-dynamic processes in business. An example: a manager as team captain must make 40.000 people not only like the work that they do but at the same time do it the way he wants them to do it. A conductor follows the same goal but not with 40.000 but with 100 people.
„The more successful you exert the instrument of leadership, the better you can include people into decision making without leaving the masterplan.“
Prof. Dr. Wildner lectures on Motivation, Democratization and Integration within an organization.
