The four-part case study (text cases A, B, C, and video case D) illustrates essential concepts and lessons about top adaptive change in the circumstance of some extra-musical initiatives of Berlin-based and world-famous conductor and pianist Daniel Barenboim.
The case exemplifies the challenges associated with opposition to adaptive change, understanding of stakeholders, management of battles, and the mental challenges of leading unpopular, although significant, change attempts under the conditions of pressure from various affected parties, who consciously or unconsciously try to redirect the change-based leader from pushing ahead. The case scenario sets an example of fruitful ground for investigation of the theory of adaptive transformation (as put forward by the Heifetz and Linsky), conversation of the perils of leading, and emotional challenges of leading.
