The following are a list of the movies I have found to be powerful in team development. You may some of your own and by all means feel free to share with us your thoughts and how you used the movie. Many can be used for Leadership Development as well. This list is in no particular order.
1) You must be committed to your dreams and goals. We are not talking about "fingers-crossed-wishing". We are talking that unshakable, gut level determination. If you don't have this, if you are just "hoping" this will work, don't even get started. No successful person starts a business on a whim, or with a mere fantasy.
One might argue that if Instructional Design encompasses all aspects of creating eLearning materials, then it begins to phase out the need for professional IDs because any subject matter who knows the design tools can develop eLearning. I disagree. Just because someone knows how to use the tools doesn't mean he or she knows how to write instructionally. In fact, I believe the more an ID can branch out, the more marketable and necessary we become. It's one-stop shopping.
After a short while, "Jane", a petite young woman, came to greet me and invited me into her office. She asked me the usual interview questions we are all familiar with: what type of work I had performed in the past, what were my strengths and weaknesses, what was I looking for in a position, and so on. She paused for a moment and inquired after my education: a Master's Degree in Human Resources Management, two Graduate Certificates in Organizational Development and Instructional Design, and a PHR (Professional in Human Resources) Certification. She also noted I was pursuing yet another Master's Degree in Liberal Arts - which is more of a personal growth goal to me.
Write an article for publication in a local paper, professional journal or organizational newsletter. Do not discount that you are NOT knowledgeable or no one else would be interested in what you do for a living.
Any Industry has layers to make a whole and without the layers the whole can't exist. The whole is a group, who need to interact, and support each other. In retrospect, industry works because of the strength of the team. If you're trying and trying with burning passion for what you want to achieve in a career, and it isn't working for you, than you turned on the wrong faucet. The tub let's say has 20 knobs, all the taps drip into the same tub, but not all of them have an equal function.
Apply what you learn. It is never enough to just read, listen or participate in discussions. It is important for you to apply what you learn. Whenever you learn a new leadership skill, commit to implementing that skill daily until you become expert and proficient at it.

I never understood why I had such an aversion to and trouble with numbers and mathematics. I wasn't stupid, I was reading before the end of kindergarten and have been devouring the written word ever since. English and history were easy subjects as were any others based on language and not numbers. Over the years I just decided I was 'stupid in math', that math was 'just not logical'. Then one day I mentioned in an online forum that I felt I had some sort of dyslexia but with numbers and not letters. Bingo! The answer came; perhaps I had Dyscalculia.
Keep in mind that a leader who dominates his team won't be a very effective leader. That's why most top students doesn't succeed in the same manner in the aspect of leading people. This implies that leadership isn't limited to very excellent individuals. Remember, leading doesn't require one to be super smart; you just need to learn to be a team player and also learn to strive for self-development. Leading people requires you to work hand in hand with the people under you. This is the leadership style that works best, but don't hesitate to adjust to a different style depending on the situation.
4) Give the economy a chance to turn around - Things aren't going to get better immediately, so in the meantime, stop worrying about finding a new job. Stick with the one you have (no matter how bad it may be) and have your continuing education be your saving grace while you zone out during your next staff meeting. If you're not currently working, this could be a great time to focus entirely on school and potentially land an internship that can lead to a full-time offer before you graduate.
Second, you must acknowledge the importance of trust. Without trust, everything takes much longer to do and to communicate and the results will always be less than satisfactory. When it comes to trust, the secret to earning people's trust is by trusting them. People follow the behaviors of others more than their words and so if you trust other people you are giving them the perfect example and incentive to trust you in return.
