Playing with Possibility

In my pursuit of leaders who play well, I happened upon one who literally plays well every day as a musician and conductor of the Boston Philharmonia. I am entranced by Benjamin Zander’s philosophy of looking for possibility in every situation and in every person we meet. His book, The Art of Possibility, written with his wife Rosamund describes how leadership entails being “the relentless architect of the possibility that others can be.”  The book is now a well-worn favorite. 

I hope you enjoy Benjamin Zander and discover wonderful possibility in these interesting times.

  1. Deidre, Thanks for the link to Zander’s talk. What a fabulous message and delivered with such humor and poignancy so seamlessly. Can’t wait to share it with our kid’s music teacher and I’m putting his book on my library list. Also just subscribed to your blog for my g-mail account. –JM
