Morning Wire Unregulated podcast: Leadership in a warzone – What one man learned from building an orchestra in Iraq

By: Caitlin Morrison

Add as a preferred source on Google

Conductor Paul MacAlindin was in a cafe in rain-soaked Scotland when he read an Iraqi girl was looking for someone to put together a national youth orchestra.

Eight years later MacAlindin explains the lessons he learned about leadership from the experience – from the challenge of finding instruments that stayed in tune to the difficulties of persuading enemies to work together, and the heartbreak that came when it was all over.
