    Stephen Covey's Lessons in Leadership Series - DVD

    Dr. Stephen Covey, founder and chair of the Covey Leadership Center and author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, once again brings us an inspirational set of leadership training programs. The series breaks new ground, shifting the paradigm in ways that will surprise even the most seasoned leader. For instance:

    A Grander Goal takes a striking look at character, bringing to bear that which is at once the simplest and most complex: love and forgiveness. It's a story of how one man's unselfish character is providing direction for young unemployed men in Uganda. (11 minutes)

    Journey to Discovery tells the tale of a successful writer at a crossroads, a man questioning his life from a personal and professional perspective. Unable to write, he wanders the streets and finds the character he needs to once again take pen in hand. This heartwarming story (and its surprise ending!) will help your leaders rediscover the passion from which breakthroughs and innovations arise.(14 minutes)

    A Better Way offers a new approach to the concept of 'win-win.' It's an intriguing look at three South African retailers, each facing unique challenges to one common concern: increasing profitability. They find increased profits - and more - with customers, vendors and employees by simply shifting from an attitude of competition to one of cooperation. (15 minutes)

    Law of the Harvest provides an enlightening look at the true meaning of 'reaping what you sow.' Viewers meet a potato farmer whose story exemplifies that the technology and quick fixes many of us have come to rely on are no substitute for patience, perseverance and preparation(7 minutes).

    Throughout this series the lesson is clear: there is plenty in this world for everyone if we work with integrity, respect and cooperation. Each is an excellent stand-alone program; used together, they comprise a comprehensive multi-session training program.

    program contents:DVD or Video, 4 programs (A Grander Goal, Journey to Discovery, A Better Way and Law of the Harvest), Leader's Guide and Participant's Workbook

    Values and Ethics: Situations for Discussion - DVD

    Free Online Preview

    Lay a strong foundation for building and maintaining healthy corporate ethics. Program contains short dramatic vignettes that demonstrate typical every day situations of employees exhibiting questionable ethics.

    As your managers struggle with the issues of ethics in the workplace, they may realize that your employees often do not have a clear understanding of the difference between ethical and unethical business practices.

    The success of organizations who train their employees on ethics offers proof that honesty really is the best policy - for both your organization and your employees. That's why it's critical for you to clearly communicate exactly what the ethical and moral expectations are for your employees. Your organization's bottom line depends on it!

    Values and Ethics can help your organization reduce wasted time and money, while increasing employee morale, confidentiality and productivity.

    Values and Ethics is a series of 12 short dramatic What Would You Do? vignettes. Each situation is followed by a short video break to allow for group discussion. After each discussion, you can summarize by communicating your organization's policy on the situation presented.

    • Using an organization's toll-free number, copier and office supplies for personal use
    • Abusing confidential privileges
    • Wasting company time
    • Not being honest with coworkers and managers

    Participants will learn to use the three-step checklist to decide if each situation is ethical: 1) Is it legal? 2) Is it a win-win situation? 3) Would you do the same thing if someone you respected were watching?

    Key Training Points:

    • Recognize unethical employee behaviors
    • Implement ethical business practices
    • Understand your corporate ethics philosophy
