Workteams and the Wizard of Oz

We've taken this universally-loved film classic and created a training program that illustrates the true power of teamwork. It's a magical
and entertaining journey into what makes teams successful. Originally produced by Metro Goldwyn Mayer in 1939 and starring Judy Garland as Dorothy, "The Wizard of Oz" was made available to CRM Learning by Turner Broadcasting for this ground-breaking approach to business training.

Your host, the internationally known management expert, Ken Blanchard, 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 imaginatively and creatively take risks.

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

Plus, the new expanded program package includes three training designs for team leaders, team members and a combination of team leaders and members.

• The importance of working toward a clear goal
• The value of diversity and adversity
• How small successes reinforce commitment and more

• Video on DVD
• Leader's Guide
