Amateur choir directors are fascinating. They are able to make 30 people with very little technical knowledge (music theory) create products (songs) admired by customers willing to pay for them (audience). Today, after months of practice for a concert, our patron requested us to sing one song that we had never worked before. We had literally 5 minutes to prepare before singing. It was a canon, not the easiest thing to do (not for me anyway). People were thrilled with our performance. How on earth that happened? 1.- Will. We all wanted to make it happen 2.- Communication. Our conductor provided really specific and applicable instructions about how to make it happen 3.- Shared leadership. The ones who got it first jumped in showing the way to others My take away: will, clear direction, and shared leadership, multiplies speed to market, even with the basics :-)

Many people know of my passion for the Grateful Dead. It started over 35 years ago with the music, the improvisational nature of which I could not get enough. It reminded me of the jazz music I played as a kid when I played trombone and my experiences all the way through college in vocal jazz ensembles, many of which had an improvisational nature. My improv training as an actor also probably had an impact on this I also talk about the business model of The Dead in my book “Sincerity: The Recipe for Living Your Best Personal and Professional Life” due to the comparisons between how one can live their personal and professional lives sincerely, creating tremendous value throughout and how the Dead often introduced new fans to their music The Dead allowed fans to record their shows, and they could trade the shows to their hearts content. Their record label thought they were nuts - but they realized this was the best decision they ever made, their fan base grew virally, and they ended up one of the biggest bands ever. They went viral before viral was a thing. As we sit here today, their brand is huge in large part due to how they grew their fan base The lesson here is to be a Giver, don’t look to get paid for every single thing you do, create sincere introductions for others - if you do this sincerely your personal brand will grow and you will end up with a network of friends that will always return your calls and have your back Enjoy the music 🎸 #gratefuldead #bekind #businessmodel #sincerity #beagiver
