- 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.

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.
