Show Notes

Gerald Leonard is an accomplished author, jazz musician, and CEO of Principles of Execution.  He helps business leaders build teams that can overcome any challenge. He’s built up his company to serve federal and state governments and multinational corporations including Verizon, Freddie Mac, Hewlett-Packard (HP), GEICO, and many more. 

Now, here’s the catch… Gerald has drawn from his experience as a professional jazz musician to teach business leaders how to build, engage, and sustain high-performing teams.

We unpack what the business world can learn from the music world and learn the recipe for creating the best team in the business. We hear about his unconventional background, the link between jazz and business leaders, submitting to the bigger picture, how to leverage the science of conversation, and the value of routine. 

We also discuss creating a place for constructive feedback in the workplace, why it is vital for team performance, how to do it effectively, and much more.
