Dr. Margaret Wheatley narrates and analyzes all the action while explaining 5 key concepts that enable a team to successfully achieve its goals and/or make effective decisions.
Along with the newly-revised 23-minute video (now in high-definition), this package also includes 4 short modules from the main video broken into 5 to 7 minutes segments.

The 4 shorter modules have been edited to focus specifically on the points each depicts. In addition, scenarios are interspersed in each segment that correlates the points in the jury scenarios to the points of the organizational situations.
We Need To Talk! – This module sets the plot of the jury having to decide innocence or guilt. It also presents 5 key concepts that prompt teams to have the kinds of discussions that lead to effective and fair decisions.
The Different Kind of Leadership – Focuses on the leader’s role in encouraging team members to be actively involved in the conversation–fearlessly expressing their views without imposing their beliefs onto others. Viewers are reminded to keep their minds open and avoid settling for easy answers.
Diversity and Inclusion – Highlights 4 key points that focus on how individual group member backgrounds bring a variety of perspectives to the issue and/or the problem the group is attempting to solve.
This newly updated version allows teams and team leaders to experience the original form of the video in an updated version and/or focus on the individual learning points from the program.
