Maestro Roger Nierenberg made his New York conducting debut at Avery Fisher with the Pro Arte Chorale and Orchestra. He was soon invited to conduct operas in two successive seasons at the Mostly Mozart Festival at New York’s Lincoln Center. Thereafter followed long, successful tenures as Music Director of both the Stamford Symphony in Connecticut and the Jacksonville Symphony in Florida. Guest conducting invitations came from the National Symphony, the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, the Detroit Symphony, the Saint Louis Symphony, the Baltimore Symphony, the Indianapolis Symphony, the San Diego Symphony, and many other great American orchestras. Abroad he has recorded with the London Philharmonic and conducted at both the Prague Spring Festival and the Beijing Festival. He has collaborated with many of the most renowned solo artists and composers of our time.  During his tenure with the Jacksonville Symphony, the seeds were planted that would lead Maestro Nierenberg to a startling departure from the conventional, through the unparalleled creation of The Music Paradigm.

Show Highlights I don't have a single mentor, but there are many many people who I've learned from. Both musicians and businesspeople —Roger NierenbergAs a conductor, you get a lot of feedback instantaneously, so you see the impact of your leadership in real time, and you have time to contemplate why did that not work or why did that work? —Roger NierenbergYou want people who believe in themselves and have strong ideas, so you have to view big egos as an asset. The challenge is to get them to buy in and understand the big picture. —Roger Nierenberg It's not about me, it's about them. I'm an agent in helping businesses collaborate. I help people expand their circle of awareness. —Roger NierenbergChallenges are an inevitable part of life. It happens to everyone. When it happens, don't feel like it's the end of the world, this is part of the process of making something good. —Roger NierenbergIt will likely take time to learn lessons from a setback. Allow yourself that time and the space to be curious. —Roger Nierenberg When something goes wrong, the first thing to ask is "what happened?" The second thing is, "What role did I play?" —Roger Nierenberg I look for opportunities to grow and they're abundant. I stay alert for that and that's a good attitude. —Roger NierenbergIf you want to keep mental acuity growing, study a musical instrument. And do it as an adult. —Roger NierenbergFill your life with the right people. Locate the people who are bringing you down and eliminate them if you can. —Roger Nierenberg

In today’s conversation, Maestro Roger Nierenberg, guides us on a tour of the Music Paradigm; how he is able to reveal valuable insights to business leaders through music. It’s a different kind of learning that is not only highly effective, but also almost instantaneous, such that participants are able to recognize distinctions in leadership and self-awareness within minutes. He is passionate about helping leaders see the impact they have on people without judgment or being singled out. The music paradigm is truly a revolutionary way to empower leaders and their teams to greatness. Key Takeaways Music converts behavior into results almost instantaneously. So you can try on one behavior and immediately you hear the result. As a leader, if you feel like your job is to fix things when they go wrong or solve problems when they come up, you will never draw out the best in your people. Only a leader that sees what the potential could be and drives the organization towards that success will bring that about. Really deep insights about organizational leadership in a way transcend the ability to ‘talk’ about it. Even ‘real life’ unfolds too slowly, whereas music allows one to experience it almost instantaneously. The more the musicians in the orchestra gain insights about themselves, the better they play. The business leaders get to see it first hand and then relate it to their own organization. It’s not that people in organizations don’t want to change; they can’t visualize it or imagine what that is like. Similarly, often the state that we’re trying to move to, we just can’t imagine it yet. Skepticism is often unconscious – that you could actually create something that you’ve never experienced or visualized before. Business organizations don’t routinely practice the way athletes or musicians do. Leadership is hard to practice and therefore hard to learn as a skill. So leaders are often completely unaware of the effect they’re having on their people.

Listen now as Roger Nierenberg explains how The Music Paradigm helps you see your organization with fresh eyes!   We are delighted to have with us today Roger Nierenberg, an exceptional conductor and innovator who has taken his musical passion and skills and become a “go-to” inspiration for businesses. Through the metaphor of music, Maestro Nierenberg helps organizations “see, feel and think” about themselves with fresh eyes. Quite amazing. Very anthropological, which as you know, is right up our alley! Wait til you hear—and I mean hear—this pioneering musical genius.  A Unique Learning Experience for Any Type of Organization  What Roger Nierenberg and I discuss in this podcast is the way in which music, and the performance of music, can often be seen as a foreign culture but can also be a powerful metaphor for the organizations in which we work, or work with. As Roger describes his experiences conducting orchestras all over the world, he shares with us how during each performance, the musicians are listening, understanding, sharing, visualizing and changing their performances, not so much in response to him but to each other. Through Roger's descriptions, we too can see our own methods of interacting with others more clearly by watching performers collaborate in a musical experience. It isn’t because they are just talented performers. Rather, they have learned how to work together to bring out each one's skills and create an amazing performance. Might this apply to your organization? The Music Paradigm Through Roger's experiences engaging with community businesses and civic leaders, he became curious about the challenges and opportunities faced by organizations in times of rapid change. Again, right up our alley—at SAMC we're all about change. He realized how crucial issues of organizational development could be powerfully brought to life within an orchestra. Thus was born The Music Paradigm, a highly effective learning experience that uses symphonic music to illuminate compelling insights about people at work. Participants are seated directly among the orchestra musicians, observing them as they perform. Up close, they see fascinating and unexpected organizational dynamics taking place within the group. It soon becomes clear that this is not a demonstration but a powerful forum where observers gain fresh understanding about the opportunities and challenges faced by their own organization. Over the past 20 years, Roger has presented The Music Paradigm to hundreds of different organizations, from civic groups to Fortune 500 companies, in 23 different countries. He explains many of the lessons learned in his book, "Maestro: A Surprising Story About Leading by Listening," which was honored in 2009 as the Best Leadership Book from 800-CEO-READ.  Andy and I are both fans of philharmonic concerts and we find The Music Paradigm to be really quite amazing. It allows you to bring something that often is not well attended (symphony orchestra performances) into your workplace as a magical method for improving your team, your organization, your relationships with clients, and your culture.  Who is Roger Nierenberg?  Maestro Roger Nierenberg made his New York conducting debut at Avery Fisher Hall with the Pro Arte Chorale and Orchestra, and soon thereafter was invited to conduct operas in two successive seasons at the Mostly Mozart Festival at New York’s Lincoln Center.

Maestro Roger Nierenberg made his conducting debut at Avery Fisher, home of the New York philharmonic orchestra and he has guest conducted at countless renowned symphonies all across America. Roger has recorded with the London Philharmonic, conducted at the Prague Spring Festival and the Beijing Festival. He has collaborated with many of the most renowned solo artists and composers of our time. Nierenberg is also the creator of The Music Paradigm, a pioneering learning experience for organizations of all types that brings live orchestral performances to audiences outside the traditional concert hall. Using music as a metaphor, Nierenberg conducts a professional orchestra in a series of spontaneous role-playing exercises that reveal how behavior and attitude impact results. Over the past twenty years, Nierenberg has presented to hundreds of organizations, from civic groups to Fortune 100 companies, in twenty-four different countries, with musicians from more than 95 different professional orchestras.

Maestro Roger Nierenberg made his New York conducting debut at Avery Fisher with the Pro Arte Chorale and Orchestra. He was soon invited to conduct operas in two successive seasons at the Mostly Mozart Festival at New York's Lincoln Center. Thereafter followed long, successful tenures as Music Director of both the Stamford Symphony in Connecticut and the Jacksonville Symphony in Florida. Guest conducting invitations came from the National Symphony, the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, the Detroit Symphony, the Saint Louis Symphony, the Baltimore Symphony, the Indianapolis Symphony, the San Diego Symphony, and many other great American orchestras. Abroad he has recorded with the London Philharmonic and conducted at both the Prague Spring Festival and the Beijing Festival. He has collaborated with many of the most renowned solo artists and composers of our time. During his tenure with the Jacksonville Symphony, the seeds were planted that would lead Maestro Nierenberg to a startling departure from the conventional, through the unparalleled creation of The Music Paradigm. Through his experiences engaging with community businesses and civic leaders, he became curious about the challenges and opportunities faced by organizations in times of rapid change. He quickly realized how crucial issues of organizational development could be powerfully brought to life within an orchestra. Thus was born The Music Paradigm, which has taken Mr. Nierenberg to the podium of over ninety different orchestras, before hundreds of different organizations in twenty-three different countries. Many of the lessons learned on this journey are presented in his book Maestro: A Surprising Story About Leading by Listening which was honored in 2009 as the Best Leadership Book from 800-CEO-READ. Roger Nierenberg makes his home in New York City and has two children, a son who is a professional pilot and a daughter who is studying French horn. Learn more about your ad choices.
