 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

Discover a new perspective to the concept of 'win-win' with A Better Way, the story of three South African retailers faced with finding a new approach to their businesses. One, challenged with street vendors at their storefronts, decides not to view their presence as an impediment, but rather an opportunity for increased success through cooperation. First, they provide the vendors with push brooms and other tools so the debris from the fruits and vegetables they sell can easily be cleared from the area. Then they give each one a hat with the store's name on it (which the vendors are proud to wear). The result? Each business is enhanced and customers enjoy the convenience of a full range of goods in one location. A Second is a grocery chain trying to gain market share in the sale of fresh fish, an area where they have had minor success and little clout. Knowing they need a better-quality product from their supplier, they express this, along with suggestions for a more efficient means of storing the fish from sea to port. With these changes, the supplier is able to increase the quality of their product and both parties realize increased profitability. A side result: the vendor's competition makes similar changes, thereby improving the quality of fish in markets throughout the region. Our third story focuses on a young manager who realizes that being in the center of town keeps his store from a large base of potential customers dependent on bus transportation. These prospective patrons would have to walk 17 minutes out of their way to buy clothes at the store and, in doing so, risk losing their place in line at the depot. The answer? Open a store near the depot. Doing so allows them to increase profitability at both stores and make customers very happy. All it took was the willingness to reconsider store placement. A Better Way teaches viewers to:

 Sometimes the lessons we most need to learn are found half a world away, in lands far different from our own. This is the case with A Grander Goal, a training program offering a profound shift in our approach to leadership. A Grander Goal brings to bear that which is at once the simplest and most complex: love and forgiveness. It is a striking look at character illustrated by one man's unselfish desire to be a role model and provide direction for young unemployed men in Uganda. War-torn, strife- and poverty-ridden, Uganda is rife with directionless young men who haven't the means to continue their educations nor any prospects for work. Americans Michael and Laura Timmis help these young men put together a soccer practice, which, in turn, brings them Stone. Once a star member of Uganda's professional soccer team, Stone's professional career ended abruptly after a knee injury, which was intentionally inflicted by another player. But Stone holds no bitterness. He simply tells his opponent, 'You did what you had to'. It is this selfless forgiveness that permeates all he does and sets the stage for the boys he mentors to learn important lessons about their lives and choices. Viewers of A Grander Goal learn to:

 Produced 2008 This course is also available for online training, see details below. Leaders who understand how small acts can lead to big results are invaluable to an organization. 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:

 Part of Stephen Covey's Lessons in Leadership Set. Law of the Harvest draws workplace lessons from an unusual source: Farming. It is an enlightening look at the true meaning of "reaping what you sow", and the importance of a strong work ethic. Viewers meet Grant Neibaur, a potato farmer whose work, like all farmers, is largely dictated by Mother Nature (thus quite unpredictable). Grant illustrates the folly of seeking quick-fix solutions. Persistence, patience and perseverance, as well as attention to detail, are imperative. With potato farming, it takes three to four years from soil prep to the harvest -- short-cuts simply don't cut it. The unpredictable nature of farming provides an excellent backdrop, bringing to light that each task has great impact on the outcome. It's an opportunity to examine process, quality, competence, timeliness, sacrifice and preparation. Viewers learn to:

 Part of Stephen Covey's Lessons in Leadership Set. Here is a lesson about how the ghosts of our past create both fear and guidance. It is the story of a successful author grappling with writer's block and his very personal Journey to Discovery. Walking the cold streets of 19th century London, our distressed writer is under pressure to produce another novel and haunted by memories of his childhood: the poverty, the grueling factory work, the fear of being homeless. He is at a paralyzing impasse. While walking, he comes across a boy with whom he begins to talk. He finds the boy is working because his parents don't make enough money and, when asked for whom he works, the boy replies, 'For people like you.' This chance encounter is transformative, inspiring our writer, who gets back to his task with fervor. This is the true story of Charles Dickens and his classic, A Christmas Carol. It is an excellent example of how, when blocked, we tend to focus on the impasse itself, which hampers our ability to move forward. Journey to Discovery offers a poignant look at how we can utilize our past and our vision of the future to get back in touch with who we are and our place in the world. It's a look at how our past, present and future come into play when faced with stressful change situations. Journey to Discovery will help viewers to:

 This is part of The Covey Leadership Library Meet Max, a recent college graduate, full of talent and ideas. And meet Max, a purebred Golden Retriever, eager to do his master's bidding. What do these two have in common? Mr. Harold -- a shortsighted manager who uses the same control style of leadership with both man and dog. An approach that inevitably leads to cynicism and frustration. An approach that disempowers. This workshop is about empowerment. It's designed to increase leaders' awareness of the waste of human potential within organizations, and to help create a culture that fosters independent initiative, creativity, and resourcefulness. Included is an introduction and summarizing insights by Dr. Stephen R. Covey, founder and chairman of the Covey Leadership Center and best-selling author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Trainers will be able to apply this film in training for empowerment, team building, leadership skills, stress management and customer service.
