IIf you can't send your people to Covey retreats in Utah's Rocky Mountains, these videos can bring you similar results at a fraction of the cost. The Covey Leadership Library™ is a series of five stand-alone video learning workshops that can be used individually or as a complete library to meet a variety of leadership development needs.  The Covey Leadership Library consists of the following videos and leadership guides:

  • I Know Just What You Mean - This workshop explores the difference between listening with intent to respond and listening with the intent to understand. It underscores the vital importance of diagnosing needs before prescribing solutions and demonstrates why much-hyped "active listening techniques" may actually contribute to miscommunication.
  • Leading By Example - Powerful, principle-centered video learning workshop that illustrates the difference a mentor and coach can make. Through the dramatic story of Anne Sullivan and Helen Keller, this case study enables leaders to identify ways in which they can be more effective models, how they can set lasting examples, and how they can bring out the best in others.
  • Mauritius - In this documentary, participants learn guiding principles designed to turn individual viewpoints into lasting organizational cohesiveness. Mauritius offers timeless insights designed to create an environment where people subordinate "mine" to "ours", and "now" to "the future", by recognizing the power of diversity.
  • Max and Max - A video learning workshop about empowerment. It's designed to increase leaders' awareness of the waste of human potential within organizations, and to help create a culture that fosters independent initiative, creativity, and resourcefulness.
  • Tearing Down Walls - This program uses the Berlin Wall as a metaphor for the barriers that exist between individuals, teams, departments, or even between an organization and its customers. Help people eliminate miscommunication, distrust, and stereotyping to improve performance and productivity in the workplace.
