Leadership & You: Patton

Patton helps you overcome leadership fears and your leadership role. This is the ultimate film about getting people to do what you might at first believe they would not do. It's also about who you are and what you have to do to be the leader you need to be. Will help you run your next employee meeting better!

Why Buy & Best Implementation: Watch this film right away to tune up your leadership skills — then watch again a year from now! (1970 — George C. Scott)

Grow the Skills of Your Managers: Hoosiers

Hoosiers is Kraig's favorite management movie of all time! Became a box-office hit 20 years ago — never marketed as the best management film ever. Sit and re-watch this movie with pad and pen in hand, noting the management messages and leadership lessons. You'll fill three pages with one-liners! We use this movie with every strategic planning session we facilitate.

Why Buy & Best Implementation: Show it to your managers next week to get your team working better and more happily together. (1986 — Gene Hackman)

Leadership Role: Twelve O'Clock High

Twelve O'Clock High is the eternal classic on leadership: how to get people to fly into almost certain death situations when they don't respect you! Just the best original film on how to rise into leadership. Not a big management film, but every manager will learn there are moments to just act and do in a way that is leader, not manager! An oldie but goodie!

Why Buy & Best Implementation: Do yourself a big favor: watch this film now! (1949 — Gregory Peck)

The Magic of "We"

Kraig's favorite! This powerful training film focuses on how we launched the legendary turnaround at Snapper Lawnmowers from a $54 million loss one year to a $13 million profit the next!

Based on a true story, this training kit will provide your team with the key steps that Snapper used to reverse a series of significant problems that threatened its very existence — along with the livelihoods of tens of thousands of employees at the plant, distributors and retailers.

It wasn't the typical Saturday morning for the management team. Top management, along with other managers and suppliers, arrived at the plant where a pile of lawnmower parts awaited. None of the production lines had been producing lawnmowers! Yet just 12 hours later, half a dozen lawnmowers were assembled and working, but even better, a new attitude among the management had emerged. Something big had changed! There was a new sense that the company's serious downslide had ended starting that day.
