Based on the best-selling book, The Leadership Pill™, The MOVIE is an entertaining and inspiring parable that illustrates the many advantages of quality leadership and leading with character.

The MOVIE takes you behind the scenes and follows a "real-life" director and a newly formed group of actors as they create a "Leadership Pill" movie. Immediately, it becomes apparent among the actors that their new leader/director, and his genuine use of the leadership skills portrayed in the book, is actually very motivating. They find that "acting" motivated is easy when it's a reality!

Special interviews throughout the film with Ken Blanchard, PhD, and coauthor, Marc Muchnick, PhD, offer insight and personal commentary on the core leadership principles.

Learning Points Participants attending this film-based training session will learn how to build a solid leadership foundation based on the core values addressed in The Leadership Pill

Participants will boost morale and increase loyalty while also enhancing productivity and performance.

In the story, an amazing new "Leadership Pill" heightens one leader's powers, but contains the wrong ingredients, stimulating the leader in a shortsighted direction with disastrous results. In contrast, the "Effective Leader", working without the pill, earns his team's respect and trust with a blend of integrity, partnership, and affirmation. The hard-won result is a highly motivated team producing consistent top performance and success.

Manage your journey to empowerment. Don’t just announce it!

Such a change from traditional ideas would mean a shift in role for bosses. Managers and supervisors would need to take more of a balanced approach in their supporting and directing roles depending on the situation. Thus, the pyramid becomes inverted.

To be carried out effectively, these and other needed changes cannot simply be announced—the change must be managed. The Managing the Journey program has two purposes:

There is a growing realization that the workers on the front lines are the ones whose motivation and commitment really contribute most to quality and service. In this way, by sharing more of the responsibility for making decisions with these workers, productivity, quality, and service can be improved greatly.

What do training killer whales have to do with training humans? More than you think! In this inspiring training program, Ken Blanchard and top SeaWorld trainers Thad Lacinak and Chuck Tompkins teach viewers a technique that actually increases employee effectiveness at work—a technique perfected over twenty years at SeaWorld!

Whale Done!TM is designed to teach people how to improve their relationships at work in order to become more productive and to achieve better results.

We have to rely on and work with others in order to be productive and achieve results. The problem is that many work environments are not conducive to positive relationships. Instead, they employ the GOTcha approach (catching people doing things wrong). If an employee makes a mistake, then someone else is waiting to catch the employee with a GOTcha! Many times, GOTcha is the result of a lot of programs that focus on fixing problems. This type of culture can be unproductive and self-defeating. While focused on the mistake, we are inadvertently reinforcing what we don't want to happen—the negative behavior.

The Whale Done! approach can have a dramatic positive impact on your relationships with others. It is contagious and will help your entire organization increase productivity, improve employee morale, and achieve better results.

Once employees go through the course, they should be able to:

Has there ever been a more diverse workteam that a farm girl from Kansas, a scarecrow, a tin man, and a cowardly lion? If they can succeed, then your workteam can, too . . . with a little help from the Wizard.

The universally loved film classic serves as the basis for an entertaining and informative training film illustrating the power of teamwork. It’s a magical and entertaining journey into what makes teams successful. Originally produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in the 1939 and starring Judy Garland as Dorothy, "The Wizard of Oz" was made available to Advanced Knowledge Inc. by Turner Broadcasting for this groundbreaking approach to business training films.

Ken Blanchard, the internationally known management expert, takes viewers along with Dorothy and her companions as they pursue a shared objective. He shows how Dorothy draws on her inner resources, builds a team, delegates tasks, and empowers others to take risks imaginatively and creatively.

This film is a powerful and unusual tool for teaching the principles of productive teamwork and leadership skills that make it happen. The film proves that teams can reach their goals, no matter how diverse their members or how difficult the undertaking, when they put these principles into practice.
