COMPLIMENTARY REVIEW (from Bill Ellet, Training Media Review)
The videos are what you would expect from Enterprise Media: visually interesting, skillfully edited, coherent, and substantive. They’re also not quite what you would expect in terms of traditional off-the-shelf training products. They take expansive strategies and translate them into daily practices that real organizations and real people can try to learn and make their own.
The team video uses a case study from Rubbermaid, one of the stars of the mothership video, to demonstrate the key concepts of teamwork. The video offers and illustrates a list of characteristics that distinguish effective and ineffective teams. The workbook/action guide gives you, the trainer, a blueprint for working with different audiences. It includes a review of the key concepts, discussion questions, and five different exercises.
