What a World-Class Violinist and a Baker Have in Common
When leadership describes you and the values you care about, what story do they tell?
Hey, it’s Anwell, and this is Soft Power Leaders, by Brantio. We help brilliant women in Biotech and Pharma gain influence.
Violinist Eric Rosenblith was my musical hero.
What made him inspirational wasn’t his world-class technique. It wasn’t his ability to lovingly shape a musical phrase. It wasn’t his ability to weave stories about the famous musicians he knew.
Mr. Rosenblith was inspirational because he passionately cared for his students at the New England Conservatory.
The day after Christmas, he would call me and excitedly ask, “Would you like a lesson today?” The day after New Year’s, the same thing. Even on his birthday, he would joyfully give lessons past 10 p.m.!
Mr. Rosenblith cared.
The incredible baker and founder of the bakery Flour, Joanne Chang, cares about her art too.
She cares so much that she left a high-powered consulting career and her Harvard Mathematics and Economics degree to focus on baking delicious treats the right way. She cares enough to make sure that every ingredient and every step in the baking process is constantly tweaked and improved upon until something magical happens.
Now people eagerly wait in lines at multiple Flour locations around Boston.
Ms. Chang cares. We all care for different things. When leadership describes you and the values you care about, what story do they tell? What story would you like them to tell?
If those two stories are not the same thing, what can you do today to start changing that?
Thanks for listening! Now go make it happen.
