The Best Leadership Videos on the Market

Basic leadership skills are the building blocks that provide managers an effective base to build on in their pursuit of a productive and efficient work team. Leadership training videos are an effective way to teach these all important skills and fortunately the market is full of excellent leadership programs that provide the skills that every leader in the workplace needs. Most of the Leadership DVDs on the market also come with a leader's guide and other support materials, which make the package a complete program ready to use out of the box. The following are the programs we have found to be most effective for our customers.

Would I Follow Me? - This leadership program follows a young manager when he is a brand-new leader and then five years later when he has learned from his mistakes and become a more effective leader. The video's before and after format allows the viewer to see just how effective his new leadership skills have become. The video features excellent acting and production values to go with its solid content.

Would I Work for Me?  - This leadership video is the manufacturing/industrial version of Would I Follow Me? It features the same training but in a blue-collar environment.

The Front of the Class - This leadership classic follows a young manager who is struggling in his new position as he seeks out his old grade school teacher for advice on his new job.  She takes him through the basics of leadership, which he uses to excel in his new job.  This show is an inspiring take on leadership.

Leadership Pickles - Bob Farrell of Farrell's ice cream parlor fame stars in this video about leadership.  Farrell talks about enthusiasm, confidence and integrity in the same folksy style that made his customer service video famous.  Farrell's enthusiasm is contagious and he will inspire your new leaders to success.

After All, You're the Supervisor - In this program a newly promoted leader has the unenviable job of now supervising his old colleagues.  Fortunately, he has a seasoned boss who helps him through the transition.  Soon, he has gotten the hang of it and is on the road to become an effective leader.

Managing Me - The host of this leadership DVD struggles with the urge to act emotionally with his gut in difficult situations, but soon finds that reason is the best way to handle the problems that occur in his leadership role.  He finds that his reacts and his ability to control them is the most important factor in success of his leadership role.

Whale Done - In Ken Blanchard's leadership classic he uses the example of training whales at Sea World to show effective leadership skills in the workplace.  Blanchard understands that people aren't whales but the training involved with these giant animals works well with people too.  Be positive and focus on successes.  Catch people doing something right.

Leadership: An Art of Possibility - As conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, Ben Zander has a ton of experience as a leader.  In this motivational program Zander talks about possibility and engaging everyone in the vision.  His hyper-enthusiasm will motivate your leaders to find the best in the people they manage and help them become part of an effective team.

Any of these unique programs will improve the leadership training within organizations.  Basic leadership skills can be trained in a variety of different ways, but video is one of the most effective.  Your leaders will see great leadership in action, which will improve the retention of the training and increase their personal effectiveness.  All of these programs come with facilitator guides and other support materials which further the learning when the video is finished.
