Experience the phenomenon of Ben Zander, world-renowned conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, as he expressively teaches a new and improved style of leadership in the exciting video training program Leadership: an Art of Possibility. The new leaders job is to SPEAK POSSIBILITY. To speak possibility you do not need to be the top guy in the elegant suit. You can speak possibility from any position, in any group of people, anywhere in the world. This leader keeps a possibility alive until every person involved in the project is enrolled in it. As Ben often says, when you are conducting an orchestra it does not work to have just some of the players involved. A great performance arises out of everyone's passion. And a great performance stirs the soul, rearranges ones molecules, connects ones being to the being of others. This kind of leadership increases the resources of an institution immeasurably in terms of energy, flexibility, and speed of response to a fast-paced world. Key Learning Point:

 What does it take to inspire a work group to greater commitment and productivity? It’s not charisma. Rather, it’s behavior that any well-intentioned leader can emulate, as this program demonstrates. The video follows Tom, a competent manager, on his quest to find out what makes Elliot, an exceptional manager in his organization, so inspiring to his workers. He learns that Elliot found what was meaningful in their work, and communicated that – in words and actions – to everyone on his team. The “Would I Inspire Me?” video program gives viewers practical ways to make work life more meaningful, productive, and rewarding for themselves and their team. Includes: 28 page comprehensive training leader's guide with reproducible worksheets. DVD contains PDF version of leader's guide and supporting PowerPoint graphics.

This compilation DVD helps build that understanding. Containing four stand-alone videos plus two meeting openers, this set provides real-world examples of "average" people who did small things to focus and motivate others toward significant accomplishments--many times under trying circumstances. Built from materials used in various FranklinCovey leadership workshops, these videos have contributed to the development of thousands of leaders worldwide. The stories will remind your team that they too can lead and bring about real results no matter what the situation may be. Trim Tab A "trim tab" is a small rudder built into the big rudder of a ship, which makes it easier to change course. Similarly, in organizations, one small change effort can be the catalyst for bigger changes. This was exemplified by Madeline Cartwright, a school principal. After rolling up her sleeves and implementing small but symbolic solutions, she inspired staff, students, and parents to turn the school around. A Legacy of Winning How would you like to manage an organization where some of your best employees leave every year? That's the reality of a collegiate sports team. Anson Dorrance, coach of UNC women's soccer, has done that for nearly 30 years. See how Anson uses a blend of performance measurement, purposeful practice and personal encouragement to bring out the best in all his players. Store 334 Imagine a place where the employees don't want to work and the customers don't want to shop. That's just what Jim Dixon faced as the manager of the worst-performing supermarket in the district. After trying various methods, Jim hit upon the secret to motivational and revenue-producing success: Get each department to make one small improvement at a time. Emma Brandon When she assumed supervision of a psychiatric facility, Emma Brandon found a staff that was simply "going through the motions". Rather than immediately instituting change, Emma took time to watch and understand what was going on, and why. As she involved employees (and patients) in decisions, held them accountable for results, and encouraged them to try new ideas--amazing successes were achieved. Meeting Openers: Your Best Moment on transitioning strategies into goals; and Live Love Learn Legacy, inspirational thoughts for leaders; complete this powerful set. Program Includes:

Produced - 2007 As the leader of any group, problems are inevitable. So…how do you react? Do you lead with your gut…or your head? This is the dilemma that the host of Managing Me grapples with. When problems arise at work, he can choose to react with either impulse or reason. As each situation plays out, the better reaction is clear. Viewers recognize that how you react often has a far greater impact—on morale, on retention, on productivity—than any specific problem ever could. The key to managing other people is learning how to manage you. Key Learning Points:

But getting work done through others can often be difficult because it inevitably involves a loss of control. This program outlines a solid process for delegating and gives valuable insight to both new and experienced managers. Delegating responsibility is a dance - a delicate partnership between manager and subordinate involving trust, authority and above all, communication. Brand new managers find delegating to be the hardest part of transitioning into the new role – while many experienced managers still struggle to get it right years after assuming a leadership position. This training program provides a plan for successful delegation, presented in five steps:
Effective delegation accomplishes more than just the task at hand. It also builds trust for future delegations, helps employees develop new skills, reduces managerial stress and improves organizational productivity. Program Includes: VHS or DVD, Facilitator’s Guide, CD-ROM with PowerPoint Presentation and a pdf of the Delegatee Checklist, 10 Participant Workbooks, 10 Reminder Cards

 In this program, a newly promoted team leader learns that giving leadership away is not as easy as it seems. Used to making decisions himself, he starts making decisions for the team, inadvertently preventing them from doing their jobs. And when he does try to share responsibility, team members are not always willing or able to take on the task. The solution comes surprisingly from a jar of Legos and some unconventional advice. They provide him with the direction he needs to begin sharing leadership and fostering everyone's potential. Package Includes: 19 minute DVD or Video, 28 page comprehensive training leader's guide with reproducible worksheets. DVD contains PDF version of leader's guide and supporting PowerPoint graphics. (Guide and PowerPoint files also available as a download.) DVD is subtitled.

Produced - 2007 This course is also available for online training, see details below. Based on the book, Leadership Made Simple, by Ed Oakley and Doug Krug the program introduces a proven process called The Framework for Leadership™, consisting of 5 questions, which, when asked in a specific order, enable leaders to engage their team in finding and implementing effective solutions. The Framework keeps groups from getting bogged down in the issue itself and the things that aren't working. It focuses them instead on what is working. Possibilities and solutions are generated from there. The net effect is that:
The video program, hosted by Ed Oakley, teaches viewers the 5 questions and shows how real-world organizations have applied the framework to common, yet critical, workplace problems. Within the workshop, participants experience the versatility of the Framework as they complete exercises where the 5 questions are modified to suit specific situations or challenges. A follow-up "mini-framework" is taught for when the group needs to check in on their progress. Whether your organization is working to institute a change initiative, resolve conflict, raise customer satisfaction, launch a new product or address a specific workplace challenge, your group leaders can use this program to achieve successful results. Program includes: A 27 minute DVD or VHS of the main program plus bonus interviews with the featured leaders adding additional insights and sharing industry-specific stories, Leader's Guide CD-ROM with PowerPoint Presentation and printable Participant Worksheets, 1 copy of the book Leadership Made Simple (with purchase only) and 10 Reminder Cards
