Jamie's Kitchen: Fifteen Lessons on Leadership - DVD (English)

Produced - 2004

Free Preview

'I've gone from being the boy next door to being the bloke with the weight of the world on his shoulders.' (Jamie Oliver)

Jamie Oliver's passion and vision transformed a bunch of unemployed kids into an efficient, organized team, capable of running a first-class London restaurant, Fifteen.

Jamie is a natural and instinctive leader. And anyone who takes on a leadership role can learn a lot from watching him in action. Part of the new two-part Jamie's kitchen training series, Fifteen lessons on leadership demonstrates that leadership is an activity and not a position. Leaders and potential leaders will identify with Jamie's honesty and openness.

The program covers five key learning points backed up by real examples from Jamie's journey:

Lead the way
Jamie shows how a good leader makes sure everyone is clear about what is expected of them. He also has a clear vision of where he wants the project to go and can communicate this in a way everyone can understand.

Show them how
Jamie is a highly visible leader who sets a great example to his team. He knows that when it comes to leadership, actions speak louder than words. He demonstrates how a good leader is prepared to tackle the unpleasant tasks as well as the pleasant ones.

Believe in them
Jamie shows total belief in his team. His positive approach to coaching, always looking for things to praise, really pays off. Even when his team mess up, he gives them the message that they can and will get it right. He is not afraid to delegate.

Deal with it
Jamie shows enormous responsibility throughout the project, personally, professionally and financially. He understands that if things go wrong, he - and no one else - will carry the can. His honesty in sharing how this affects him will strike a chord with all leaders.

Learn and adapt
Jamie learns continually throughout the project. He learns about himself and about his team, discovering which techniques of leadership work best for each team member. If one way of tackling a problem doesn't work, he tries another.

Program includes: DVD (25 minutes), course leader's guide, self-study workbook, customizable worksheets, powerPoint slides and handouts and poster of key learning points.

Who Cares? - DVD

Government Version also Available Free Online Preview

“Customer service just isn’t what it used to be.” That statement can’t be supported with statistics but not many people would argue it. The GOOD news is that organizations offering EXCELLENT customer service now have a greater competitive advantage than ever before!

Who Cares?, the new training program that can play a critical role in giving your organization just such an advantage! We’ve identified and illustrated the four simple but critical cornerstones of excellent customer service:

  • Greet the customer
  • Respect the customer
  • Listen to the customer
  • Really help the customer!

In reality, most customer service representatives really do care. But they often neglect, or fail to remember those basic behaviors that send that caring message to your clients. It’s also too easy for them to forget the important role they play in your organization’s success. Who Cares? provides both the information and inspiration your staff needs to provide winning customer service.

Program Synopsis: An engaging host provides narration between a wide variety of realistic and thought-provoking customer service scenes. The viewer is reminded to put themselves in the customer’s shoes as “wrong way” and “right way” service examples are provided. Retail, hospitality, food service, banking and government settings along with man-on-the-street commentaries provide an informative and fast-paced training experience.

Program Includes: A 21 minute DVD or VHS video, comprehensive leader’s guide, PowerPoint Presentation on CD-ROM and Who Cares?, handbook and leader’s guide.

Five Star Teamwork - DVD

How is it that certain teams achieve extraordinary excellence, day after day, year after year and manage to stay committed to each other, their customers and their organization's mission? This new program features the remarkable team at the Four Seasons Restaurant in New York City. Long regarded as a premier destination and widely thought of as one of the best restaurants in the world, the Four Seasons team lives by a set of principles that are universal to any team, in any environment. There are no actors, no experts and nothing is contrived-just a real-life, high performing team delivering excellence day after day, year after year.

Just as an example, one of the most important principles of the team is their commitment to each other. An uncommon promise that is one of the traits that set them apart from all others in any setting. They know that unless they take care of each other first they will not be able to provide the level of service required by the pressure-cooker atmosphere of the restaurant.

The five principles:

  • Commitment to Each Other
  • Commitment to the Mission
  • Commitment to the Customer
  • Commitment to Resolving Conflict
  • Commitment to the Details

The program comes with a comprehensive leader's guide and Power Point Presentation for a one-hour session and a four-hour session and one set of reproducible participant handouts on a convenient CD. It also has very flexible content points that allow for customization for organization-specific exercises or other activities that you may prefer to use.

Program length: 17 minute DVD
