The conductor of an orchestra is the most powerful person in the orchestra. A dramatic picture of him is on the cover of the CD. However, the conductor does not make a single sound. He depends for his power on his ability to make other people powerful. To awaken possibility in other people. - Ben Zander
Ben Zander, author of The Art of Possibility and Conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, gives a presentation at the World Economic Forum on changing the way we approach difficult situations. He talks about a paradigm shift in thinking that unleashes creativity to find solutions. Being a musician, he gives a very entertaining talk, adding his musical flare to the topic he is communicating. Enjoyable to watch and learn from.
The Art of Possibility is one of my favourite books and I can lend you my copy if you want, or you can buy one here.
