Since 1979, Benjamin Zander has been the conductor of the Boston Philharmonic. He is known around the world as both a guest conductor and a speaker on leadership -- and he's been known to do both in a single performance. He uses music to help people open their minds and create joyful harmonies that bring out the best in themselves and their colleagues.
His provocative ideas about leadership and his passion for music are rooted in a partnership with Rosamund Stone Zander, with whom he co-wrote The Art of Possibility. This is a speech he held at a TED conference.
"For me it's very simple. It's not about wealth and fame and power.
It's about how many shining eyes I have around me".
