"The conductor, a magical figure for the audience, enjoys a leadership mystique of significant magnitude...But vanity and tyranny are prevalent in the music world even in these enlightened times, and the picture of orchestral musicians as infantile and submissive, caught between willful conductors, insensitive management, and hypervigilant unions is not as rare as one would hope...Traditionally, all verbal communication in aven when it is really a statement of fact or belief."

QUESTIONS:

2. What style of leadership seems to be prevalent in orchestras?

3. Now substitute "physicians and nurses" for "conductor and orchestra."

4. Remember when nurses talked to physicians this way? Do we still?
