The Orpheus Symphony showcases a revolutionary approach to leadership, emphasizing the importance of shared values and collective motivation. Instead of relying on a solitary leader, success is achieved through cohesive core groups where trust, respect, and continuous feedback are paramount. This method fosters innovation, allowing all members to step into leadership roles as needed. By prioritizing common objectives and mutual accountability, the Orpheus model creates a dynamic environment where decision-making is collaborative, enriching the musical experience and organizational performance.

The Orpheus Symphony Philosophy: leadership is not the responsibility of one person; it is instead achieved through highly cohesive core groups/teams.
Main Principles Body I: Motivation * shared values and motivations create cohesiveness which eliminates the need for a solitary leader Body II: Strategy * common objectives and shared values lead to highly cohesive teams * leadership is shared if group members trust and respect each other Body III: Decision-Making * accomplished through constantly rotated and well-lead core groups Body IV: Work * providing feedback to one another is essential for creating these cohesive teams
