Rodger Dean Duncan, a best-selling author and contributor to Forbes.com, discussed leadership lessons that can be learned from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in an article posted September 8.
In the article, Mr. Duncan lists five lessons he has learned from the choir. He also notes that the participants come from diverse backgrounds and many are unpaid volunteers.
“That’s the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, one of the most recognizable brands on the planet. And all this magic is pulled off by a leadership team that includes a retired elementary school principal, a former Procter & Gamble marketer, and a former human resources chief for a large food wholesaler,” Duncan wrote.
“The choir includes academics, executives, homemakers, scientists, engineers, and people who work in sales, law, health care, and several other disciplines. But whatever their ‘day jobs’ may be, they invest hundreds of hours per year in rehearsals, recordings, and broadcast performances.”
