Symphonic Leadership

[Via Guy Kawasaki's blog]. Thanks to Bert Decker (Executive Coach) who prepares an annual list of the 10 Best & Worst Communicators, I came across this compelling video.

Decker's 10 Best Communicators List for 2007 includes a former cellist, now musical conductor, Ben Zander. The short video below demonstrates his amazing communication skills. His talk contains some gems on the subject of Leadership.

This short (8 minute) video demonstrates why he deserves to be on the list.



In an odd coincidence, yesterday I blogged about The Even Keel - a tribute to Tony Dungy's leadership style. Well, guess who also made the 2007 Best 10 Communicators List.

Maybe, just maybe, effective communicating has something to do with effective leadership.
