Dissonance: Music and Leadership
b'I\\u2019ve loved (and played) music all my life. I also grew up in a time that generated lots of musical dissonance, from John Cage to Frank Zappa. In music, the tension between dissonance and melody benefits both. In my work, and in the organizations I serve, dissonance is increasing as more diversity\\u2014of generations, values, and expectations\\u2014creates conflict. We can see this as a threat or as a source of creative energy. Why not choose the latter?'
