Simpson Grierson delighted about the sell-out audience to hear Harvard Business School Professor explore the culture of
success in business
Top tier law firm Simpson Grierson is delighted at the high level of interest from the New Zealand business community in
the visiting Harvard Business School Professor Rosabeth Moss Kanter, who will tomorrow address a sell out audience on
culture of success and failure.
Professor Kanter's presentation titled “Confidence: How Winning Streaks and Losing Streaks Begin and End” is the most
popular in the University of Auckland Business School’s New Hemisphere Speaker Series to date.
Simpson Grierson Chairman Rob Fisher says, “As the major sponsor of Professor Kanter's presentation, we are thrilled at
the high level of interest in her knowledge on such key business issues as strategy, innovation and leadership for
change, and we look forward to a stimulating and thought provoking address.”
“Her insight into how winning streaks and losing streaks perpetuate themselves and how to change the dynamics of decline
into cycles of success promises to be very relevant and engaging. Professor Kanter believes the fundamental task of
leaders is to develop confidence in advance of victory in order to attract the kinds of investments that make victory
possible … money, talent, support, loyalty, attention, effort or people’s best thinking.”
“These are valuable messages and concepts for the New Zealand business community and Simpson Grierson is delighted to
have played a key role in enabling Professor Kanter to share her experience and expertise with us.”
The 2004 University of Auckland Business School New Hemisphere Speaker Series provides a dynamic forum between business,
academia and government and has attracted a range of speakers who are all leaders in their fields.
