“Love the analogy/metaphor of music being compared to business. There are lots of similarities, as you show us. As a musician myself, I've often thought about how the two are similar - and how interesting it would be to create a speech, or in your case a book, around the topic.” Shep Hyken - Customer Service Expert, Keynote Speaker & New York Times and Wall Street Journal Best-Selling Author of Amaze Every Customer Every Time and The Amazement Revolution“
Gerald, I enjoyed reading the metaphor of how a great culture is like an orchestra. You can't make beautiful music and enjoy harmony without a commitment from all to play their part. You must have the right leadership, and the right players, playing to their strengths.”
