KEYNOTE:
A Musical Study of Leadership, Co-Leadership and Power Partnerships

Warren Bennis, one of the leading authorities on leadership in America today, states that behind every successful leader, one will typically find a second in command who is a complimentary force to the leader. The new watchword for this individual is Co-leader, and leader/co-leader partnerships are spread throughout high performance organizations which value leadership inclusion and collaboration. This program uses a musical partnership to study and evaluate the characteristics of effective power partnerships. John Whitlow and Marc Carraway both have extensive careers serving successfully in executive and leadership roles within private and public sector organizations. They also are highly successful musicians, having performed on a national level, toured extensively in the folk music world and having released 7 recordings between them. For the past 6 years they have performed together as the acoustic duo Scuffletown, in what one critic calls "a true musical gem".world class entertainment full of laughter, mischief and just straight ahead great music!. Scuffletown will provide musical performances throughout this program, while also engaging participants in a discussion of how Whitlow and Carraway have applied the principles of Co-Leadership to manage the power issues in their partnership and to maximize the potential of their collaborative efforts.
