The Round Table Dialogue Series Recap: Shifting From Teamwork to Ensemble Flow

"We have a relationship built on trust and love. So the music is more effortless." — Eugene Uman

Trust is a key element to performing well as a group. So how do you build trust in your ensemble? We all know that teamwork makes the dream work—but Ensembles can take us even further into a more inspired, harmonious, and productive workplace.

Our Shared Leadership Framework™ takes so much inspiration from music, jazz especially. Jazz ensembles take collaboration and group development one step further than traditional teamwork, because they relate first as an intentional group rather than individuals playing specific roles. In an ensemble, every voice is heard, and every contribution is recognized as equally valued, leading to a more innovative, inspired, and productive workplace.

In case you missed it, Lori Hanau joins Eugene Uman from The Vermont Jazz Center for a conversation about what it takes to shift from traditional models of teamwork to sharing leadership and power as an Ensemble as Part 3 of our Round Table Dialogue Series.
