Teamwork and the Jazz Ensemble
Dominic will show how jazz musicians thrive in a turbulent musical environment, acquire speed and agility, make fast irreversible decisions, build on each other's ideas, establish a "flow" to liberate the creative forces with a group, improvise within clearly defined minimal structures, encourage diversity, and strive for novelty and innovation during performance.

What Clients Say About Dominic Alldis
"An important part of the Leadership Development Centre was to stretch our managers thinking about leadership using music as a metaphor. An important result was that our managers began to shift their mindset, seeing leadership through a jazz lens, as improvisation, collaboration and flexibility, not just through a traditional orchestral lens, as "conducting" a team..."
"Excellent - the theme of music appealed to everyone. Dominic's presentation was very thought-provoking and relevant at both a personal and organizational level. He was engaging and interactive with the audience and I would recommend his presentation to any organisation..."
"The orchestral metaphor is an extremely powerful way to convey leadership messages. I thought the session was really inspiring."
