Shining eyes

“A [symphony orchestra] conductor doesn’t make a sound.  His job is to awaken the possibility in other people.”

This is what Benjamin Zander, conductor of the Boston Philharmonic, says. 

And, how do you know you’re doing it?  

“If their eyes are shining, you know you’re doing it… It’s about how many shiny eyes are around us.”

As a leader, how many shiny eyes are around you?
