How do jazz bands create brilliant musical pieces? Think about it, a group of musicians playing and improvising in real time. Members of a jazz band lean in and listen to each other while playing.

High performing teams are like jazz bands. In high performing teams, team members lean in and listen closely to their fellow teammates. Question, how can we learn from jazz bands and build high performing teams?

To discuss this with me is Gerald J. Leonard. Gerald is an accomplished musician and business consultant. He leverages the principles of creativity, innovation, and peak performance to give businesses the edge needed to succeed. Gerald is an author. One of his books is titled “Workplace Jazz”.

In this episode, Gerald and I have a conversation about applying the principles of a jazz band to build high performing team.
