Fans probably didn’t need them, but here are 10 more reasons why the Boss is the Boss.
Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band in Leipzig in July 2013. Someone in the audience asks for a song that is clearly not on the program and there begins a masterclass in leadership. (Video at the end of the post)
- One fan/client makes a petition that, after reflection, sparks a vision.
- The Boss is the first to try and, in exploring his own limitations, he checks with one of the band members and accepts negative feedback.
- He doesn’t mind showing vulnerability when he claims that he is being overly ambitions.
- He finds mitigation for his limitation.
- Once he is ready, he starts coaching and encouraging the band: “Can you do it?” “Try it, boys!”
- He manages to make the rehearsal of the band fun for the audience.
- At the right point: “Here we go!”. He triggers the action. Taking most of the responsibility first.
- Once the band is engaged and having fun, he lets the band members display their talent.
- He gives positive feedback and encouragement to the band members with smiles and approving looks.
- At all times, he trusts his band and shows that he is their greatest fan and enjoys working with them.
