Playing Your Part When Leadership Changes


Listen Later

In this episode, Ray Sclafani explores how advisory firm leaders can move from solo leadership to shared, high-performing teams. Using the metaphor of a musical ensemble, Ray shares lessons from his high school band and real-world coaching with billion-dollar firms to show how clarity, trust, and accountability create lasting success. Learn how to define team roles, foster trust, and lead through leadership transitions while keeping your firm’s performance in harmony.


Key Takeaways 

  • Leadership is most effective when responsibility is shared across the team.
  • Clear roles help every team member understand how they contribute to the bigger picture.
  • Trust among team members strengthens performance and accountability.
  • Transitions in leadership are opportunities to evolve and sustain firm value.
  • Every team member’s contribution is essential, like instruments in a symphony.
