In today's edition of USA Today, Del Jones interviews Lorin Maazel, music director of the New York Philharmonic, about leadership. The two touch on success, delegation, discipline, and motivation. Among Maazel's advice for leaders:

  • Earn respect
  • Balance confidence and humility
  • Don't be nice to curry favor
  • Speak only when you have something valuable to say
  • To lead, energize
  • Demand passion instead of perfection

The interview's a useful read complementary to Fast Company's features on Ben Zander, Roger Nierenberg, and Orpheus.

Heath, I think you better delete the comments. I hope this isn't going to become the norm or else you may have to turn them off for awhile :-( Or maybe just don't allow hyperlinks.

That was a nice interview. I just cannot agree with the comment "ALWAYS test B4 going live", because sometimes its even more simple: Hold the deadline! H.A.

This is increasingly a problem in many blogs. We're working on a solution so I don't have to remove them one by one. Thanks for your patience.
