About the course

The new programme, Leaders on Stage, at ELIA member, Guildhall School of Music & Drama combines the core competencies from their highly successful Leaders & Managers course with the data from new research undertaken in 2019 directly with principal and section players by Guildhall Associates, Jane Booth and Trudy Wright.

Leaders on Stage is specifically designed for orchestral principals based on feedback given to them by orchestral principals and section players. It’s an experiential, highly interactive programme backed up by neuroscience, positive psychology with tried-and-tested tools and techniques; working on real material with real people with lots of practice time during sessions to try out new skills.

Topics covered include, understanding the impact of different leadership styles, managing conversations with colleagues which result in the required action, leading difficult conversations, giving and receiving feedback, introduction to a tool for regular reviews with colleagues, an introduction to neuroscience which backs up all the processes shared.
