At first, each work team tries to reach agreement on the best course of action. However, because of the great disparity in their decisions, two of the teams come together to reach a final recommendation. The non-scripted deliberations bring out striking ethical and cultural differences in decision-making, teamwork, and management styles. By viewing how the management teams discussed the same problem, and came to sharply different conclusions, you will observe cultural differences that are rarely recognized and seldom understood. One of the beauties of this exceptional program is that it is designed to be used with or without an on-site trainer, with or without your participants coming together as a group, and with or without individualized (at-home) learning modules. This means you may mix or match any of the program's components to meet your needs. The package includes one resource guide, business case study, videotape, DVD, and CD-ROM. The CD-ROM, which can be used by individuals as a self-directed learning and/or in a group setting, outlines fundamental concepts in intercultural relations and explains the dynamics of the management team's deliberations through exercises, text, animation, and video.

The Cuban Missile CrisisVideo $795.00/$225.00 (Item#PDDC-AKCUBAN)
Change and growth inevitably force companies to make critical decisions at unexpected moments. Acting under pressure, many organizations make decisions that fall short, that operate in a frustrating cycle of trial and error, that can waste millions of dollars. How should organizations reach decisions that successfully impact their enterprise? What elements are essential in surfacing the best decision a team can make? Management experts consider the Cuban Missile Crisis one of the most successful decision making processes in history. In 13 pressure-packed days, President Kennedy’s Executive Committee debated and successfully resolved how to respond to the threat of attack by Soviet-controlled nuclear weapons installed in Cuba, a mere 90 miles from the Florida coast. The Cuban Missile Crisis video is not a history lesson, but an examination of the leadership style and processes that led President Kennedy’s Executive Committee not just to a good decision, but to the optimal decision. If the five essential elements of leadership and work processes used during these meetings led to a decision that neutralized the threat of nuclear attack, think of what these elements can do for your organization’s decision making teams. The Cuban Missile Crisis video features: Former Secretary of Defense Former Presidential Advisor Senior Management Consultant Management Action Program, Inc.

Servant LeadershipDVD $495.00 (Item#PDDC-TTCSERV)
With his initial definition of servant-leadership in 1970, Robert K. Greenleaf planted a seed of an idea which continues to grow in its influence on society with each passing year. We are witnessing a shift in many businesses and non-profit organizations -- away from traditional autocratic and hierarchical modes of leadership and towards a model which is based upon teamwork and community; one which seeks to involve others in decision-making; one which is strongly based in ethical and caring behavior; and, one which is attempting to enhance the personal growth of workers, while at the same time improving the caring and quality of our many institutions. This emerging approach to leadership and service is sometimes called “servant-leadership”. Part One presents a historical and conceptual overview of Servant-Leadership -- how it came to be developed and how it is currently defined. Part Two presents an outline of ten characteristics. This program is designed to assist the viewer in identifying and understanding those Servant-Leadership characteristics which he or she might want to develop and practice further. Length: 25 Minutes

Hathaway was a Maine tradition. The factory had operated in Waterville for 160 years. But with low-cost foreign imports hurting the domestic garment industry in the 1990s, Linda Wachner turned to cutting costs sharply, which also hurt shirt quality. When Wachner’s strategy failed, she decided to abandon the plant. But the people of Maine rallied to save this proud Maine institution, raising the investment money and the backing of federal, state, and local governments. Sappington decided to restore traditional Hathaway quality, convinced that appealing to the high end of the market would make Hathaway profitable again. (30 minutes)

An Award-Winning Video! Named by HRD Executive Magazine as one of the Top Ten Training Products!
From management floors to shop floors, we've found that all people share the same basic need to be heard, understood, and appreciated. We've been privy to many emotions, usually hidden from others, and concluded that managers and employees aren't as different as they may think. And, we've seen the destructive "us vs. them" polarization that all too frequently results from the failure to realize our human interdependence; from an inability to find the common ground. We've learned that understanding and empathy -- the cornerstones of trust-based, successful organizational cultures -- lead to improved relationships between employees and managers. And, at work as in life, improved relationships lead to greater success... for everyone.

Sometimes transforming a failing enterprise takes the surgeon’s knife. Renowned business consultant Gerry Robinson prefers the axe. In this behind-the-scenes case study, Robinson applies his business acumen to The Vernon Road Bleaching and Dyeing Company, a British lace dyeing operation bought in bankruptcy by the father/son team of Henry and Richard Chaplin. Taking Richard to task for, among other things, disastrous inconsistency in decision-making and poor communication with employees, Robinson suggests re-motivating workers by building bridges of trust and respect—and, failing that, by the exit of the boss himself. Original BBCW broadcast title: Arsenic and Old Lace.
Told in the form of a fable, this animated program provides an effective and humorous way of communicating Total Quality Management philosophy. In the mythical province of Credo, the townspeople express concern over the decline of commerce and work together to identify the measurable costs of quality—prevention costs, appraisal costs, internal failure costs, and external failure costs. They establish work teams to solve the problem of lost revenue. Through this evaluation of how they run their businesses, the province of Credo regains its prominence and the townspeople gain an understanding of the importance of individual contribution.
