5.0 out of 5 stars A video for all leaders, February 15, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Leading in a Time of Change, Video Package (includes Viewer's Workbook, Facilitator's Notes and video): What It Will Take to Lead Tomorrow (Video) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Peter Drucker and Peter Senge explore how each leader can "make the future." Their conversation covers many of the Drucker themes his readers will recognize: the need to abandon the old, the need to build on successes, and the value of leading knowledge workers as if they were volunteers. Peter Senge is a skillful moderator, adding his own comments about the need to focus on creating rather that solving problems. The video package comes with a useful Viewer's Workbook and Notes for Facilitators. This video package is an inexpensive way to bring a provocative conversation into your organization.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great guide to dealing with change, March 10, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Leading in a Time of Change, Video Package (includes Viewer's Workbook, Facilitator's Notes and video): What It Will Take to Lead Tomorrow (Video) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I got more out of this video than I have out of many expensive seminars and conferences I have attended. It's a terrific guide to dealing with change and turning it into opportunity. Drucker and Senge offer insightful observations about the how to prepare for the future. I showed it to a group of colleagues at a company off-site and it helped generate a great discussion. There's a workbook that I used to guide the discussion, and a lot of really good insights throughout the video.
