The Leaders in London Summit
27-29 November 2007
Central Hall, Westminster, London
TSOC have continued the with sponsonship of Leaders in London and are delighted to have hosted a private audience with Benjamin Zander, conductor, author and inspirational motivator. The event was a great success!
Zander, who has worked with industry giants ranging from IBM and Microsoft to NASA, is described by Tom Peters as ‘the hottest property on the management guru circuit'.
At Leaders in London Zander will join other celebrated leadership experts delivering world class strategies for inspirational business leadership to some 1200 delegates during the course of three days.
Speakers include Kofi Annan, Stephen Covey, Al Gore, Michael Eisner, Edward de Bono, Professor Michael Porter, David Cameron, Martin Sorrell, Marcus Buckingham, Steven Levitt, Nicola Horlick, Nick Wheeler, Allan Leighton, Sally Preston, James Brown, Karren Brady, Andrew Zolli and Rene Carayol.
Zander will explode the practice of traditional leadership - his leadership view is unconventional, irreverent, bold and inspirational and, ultimately, fascinating. He'll be talking to 1200 delegates about how leaders can create frameworks for possibilities that will maximise individual, team and organisational performance.
Zander co-wrote the bestseller The Art of Possibility. In this model of leadership, the conductor, though he doesn't make a sound himself, has the job of releasing in the players the passion, creativity, fine-tuned listening, and the desire to contribute that are the essential ingredients of an outstanding performance.
A lifetime of experience conducting orchestras and teaching countless musicians has shown Zander how to motivate and inspire the players and uncover the secrets of leadership that are just as relevant to the business world as to the musical world.
Zander's musical career began at age eight as a cellist under the tutelage of his father, and soon thereafter as a student of Britain's most famous composer, Benjamin Britain. As a 15-year-old schoolboy he became apprenticed to the Spanish cellist Gaspar Cassado, travelling around Italy and Germany for five years with the great master.
Today Zander has the distinction of conducting an orchestra that was created solely for him. After years at the helm of the Boston Civic Symphony, Zander was asked to step down in a dispute over repertoire with the Board of Trustees. To their surprise and dismay, the entire orchestra followed Zander to form The Boston Philharmonic, now in its 28th year.
