A Manager is Like An Orchestra Conductor

Monday November 10, 2003
A Carolina Morning News article notes, "A small business owner is like a conductor of an orchestra, providing the guidance for employees". Unlike another recent article (The Music Paradigm), this article focuses on the tool the small business owner (or any other manager) uses to conduct the business "symphony". A music conductor has a baton; the manager uses a control system tailored to the business. Read how to make a control system work for your organization.
