Workteams and the Wizard of Oz - DVD

This universally-loved film classic is now a training program that illustrates the true power of teamwork.

It's a magical and entertaining journey into what makes teams successful. Originally produced by Metro Goldwyn Mayer in 1939 and starring Judy Garland as Dorothy, footage from "The Wizard of Oz" was made available by Turner Broadcasting for this ground-breaking approach to business training.

Your host, the internationally known management expert, Ken Blanchard, takes viewers along with Dorothy and her companions as they pursue a shared objective. He shows how Dorothy draws on her inner resources, builds a team, delegates tasks and empowers others to imaginatively and creatively take risks.

This program is a powerful and unusual tool for teaching the principles of productive teamwork and the leadership skills that make it happen. It proves that teams can reach their goals, no matter how diverse their members are or how difficult the undertaking, when they put into practice the logic shown here.

Participants will learn about:

  • The importance of working toward a clear goal
  • The value of diversity and adversity
  • How small successes reinforce commitment ...and more

Program includes: 18 minute DVD or VHS and Leader's Guide

    The Power Dead-Even Rule and Other Gender Differences In The Workplace - DVD

    Men and women live in different cultures. As a result they have different rules regarding what is considered "appropriate" adult behavior. Unfortunately neither gender is aware of these disparate norms and rules and often misread what is being communicated. Women may see men as belligerent and insensitive. Men often see women as over-emotional. What they don't understand is that both men and women are doing what works in their own culture. Unfortunately, the same behavior can backfire across culture. Consequently, what seems natural to one gender culture can seem mysterious and baffling to the other.

    In her thoughtful and lively presentation Dr. Heim will explain some of the different rules of the male and female cultures and help viewers understand and learn to improve workplace communication between men and women instead of placing the blame on either gender.

    Dialogue - Now You're Talking! Series Online Course

    Request a free online preview!

    Through a series of short dramatizations this unique series explores the rules and techniques that distinguish a Dialogue from other forms of communication, such as debate or negotiation. The series examines how we can surface the often unspoken assumptions, in ourselves and in others, that can stand in the way of effective organizational communication. In so doing we build mutual trust and respect.

    Each program in the series can stand alone and may be licensed separately. There are volume discounts if you license the entire series or multiple copies of any program.

    Program Contents:

    Communicating in a Diverse World. Overview. What is dialogue - contrasting debate and dialogue. Initiating Dialogue - how to do it, where to do it. The skills of Dialogue - Suspension (of judgment, decision making and status); Listening (with empathy, for understanding, showing you care); Discovery (uncovering and sharing hidden assumptions in yourself and others). Includes a dramatization of how Dialogue helps us communicate across job functions, helping improve relations between people at different levels within the organization as well as between different departments or areas of expertise. (25 minutes)

    Dialogue for Cultural Understanding. We apply the skills of dialogue outlined in Program 1 to challenges faced in culturally diverse work environments. We see a dramatization that demonstrates how dialogue can be used to open communication, uncover hidden assumptions, break down stereotypes and facilitate more productive relationships. (24 minutes)

    Dialogue between Genders. A dramatized dialogue shows us how the skills we learned in Program 1 can be used to overcome misunderstandings, break down gender stereotypes and improve communications between men and women at work. (21 minutes)

    Dialogue among Generations. We demonstrate how the skills of dialogue can be used to bridge the personal and professional style differences that exist between employees of different ages. We uncover how divergent personal and world views common to people of different generations can lead to misunderstandings and distrust and how dialogue can help overcome age barriers and build more productive workplace relationships. (24 minutes)
