Information Management for Organizational Effectiveness
16 Nov 2026 | Thinking about us as leading and being led - what type of leaders work best in both situations?
We will consider what we already know ...
... and maybe what we don't yet know.
For instance, how does this ...
... relate to this?
Let's do this one more time.
... and think about how we can lose our perceptions of things.
For instance, how does this ...

We'll wing it today ...
We will review of module, in part by having each group offer some
thoughts about their leadership preferences

Blue Rondo à la Turk
“Blue Rondo à la Turk” is the lead track on Time Out, the 1959 album which,
thanks to “Take Five,” continues to be among the best selling jazz records of all time.
Written by Brubeck, the song was inspired by music he heard on the street in Istanbul, played in a fascinating rhythm.
In the 2009 Legacy Edition Reissue of Time Out, he explained:
There was a Turkish musician. I remember his name. His name was June Eighth - he was born on June Eighth, so that was his name.
I asked June Eighth, “What was that rhythm: 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3.”
June Eighth said, “That is like the blues to you. We all grew up improvising in that rhythm.”
So I said, I'm going to use this rhythm in a tune, and I will call it “Blue Rondo à la Turk".
Brubeck later regretted calling the song that.
The name is a nerdy play on Mozart's Piano Sonata 11, 3rd Movement, a k a “Rondo alla Turca,”
but Brubeck felt it only confused people.
Crucially, it was also a bit too long to fit a jukebox title strip, but in 9/8 time,
it wouldn't have inspired any dance steps that would fit on an Arthur Murray chart anyway.
