- Summary:
- Flight of the Buffalo - the all-time classic on empowerment. This timeless video based on the book of the same name focuses on soaring to excellence by learning to let employees lead. Practical, hands-on, and inspirational, this video shows how the manager's job is to inspire and empower employees to achieve high levels of employee performance and productivity. Management consultants James A. Belasco & Ralph C. Stayer present their new paradigm for leaders in the 90's in Flight of the Buffalo, a practical, hands-on half-hour video based on their popular business book of the same name (from Warner). Says Jim Belasco: "Every month, they would bring me their problems and I would spend the rest of the month solving their problems ... it turned out that they (employees) were world-class problem finders ... not problem solvers. It was crazy." The video shows how the Belasco and Stayer principles are applied at Owens & Minor, Furon Company and the U.S. Naval Supply Depot in San Diego to achieve extraordinary performance, quantum quality improvement, and high levels of employee performance and productivity.
