 | Benjamin Zander -- Massachusetts USA, 50.0k to 75.0k
In a symphony - as in business - one person can’t do it all. Great music is made when everyone gives their best. As leader, it’s the conductor’s job to bring out the best in everyone and Ben Zander does that better than anyone. Zander is the brilliant and acclaimed British-born conductor of the Boston Philharmonic. His talks bring his passion for greatness and philosophy of life to audiences in a way that absolutely transforms the way people act – they leave his presentations as changed people -- with a compelling new understanding of leadership, organizational dynamics, teamwork and the keys to their own happiness and improved performance. Zander’s presentations are a high-energy tour de force – he paces the stage . . . walks through the audience . . . he cajoles . . . plays piano . . . he teases . . . he laughs . . . and he chides.
