Symphonia Leadership Development will be hosting Ben and Roz Zander in SA in August.
Ben Zander has been the conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra since it’s inception and has been a guest conductor all over the world, He is also an acclaimed speaker. He also co-authored (with his wife Rosamund) the acclaimed book, The Art of Possibility which is based on the principles developed through the authors’ unique partnership.
Rosamund (Roz) Zander’s work is, ” In all it’s aspects, is about growth. The intention is to expand people’s capacity for leadership, insight, expression and contirbution”
“Benjamin Zander’s presentation takes an audience on a journey that offers a startling new perspective on leadership. Through stories, music and concepts it causes a radical shift in perception. This is not a speech, it is an experience!
In this new model of leadership, the conductor sees his job as awakening possibility in others. The orchestra is a group of highly trained individuals poised to coalesce into an effective whole. Passion, creativity and the desire to contribute are basic human instincts to be released.
World famous conductor, Benjamin Zander uses the metaphor of the orchestra and a life-time of experience conducting, coaching and teaching musicians to work his magic to overcome barriers to corporate productivity. This presentation sources fundamental changes in organizations. “

I have read the book and their work is truly masterful. The whole way that they approach leadership, teamwork and getting the best from people around you is very valuable. The business value of the orchestration metaphor is very useful for anyone who is trying to manage a group of people to produce great results.
