While I could probably give you 100 great management videos, I’d rather offer you my top 5, and explain why I selected them, so you can put them to use in your team meetings right away.

Seth Godin talking about Tribes – Seth Godin is a powerful speaker, and to get his ideas about Tribes distilled down to just 17 minutes is powerful. You can use this one to show your team that everyone has the opportunity to lead in their own unique way.

Ben Zander on Music and Passion – I got to see Zander speak last year, and he amazed me with his energy and enthusiasm. This video is perfect for shifting your team’s thinking and reframing situations. He also reminds us of the “bright eyes” we had when we were children, and a bit about how to get those bright eyes back.

Zig Ziglar on Attitude Makes All the Difference – Zig is one of my favorite teachers of all time, and in this classic, he teaches us about attitude. Use this to help all the folks who are stinkin’ thinkers on your team.

Change is Good, You Go First – A cute video, full of little reminders for you to think about when you forget why you’re a manager, or when your team doesn’t understand what’s going on. Make sure YOU watch it first though. It’s a little cheesy, but it can be VERY helpful. Check out more Simple Truths movies.

Randy Pausch on The Last Lecture – Need something that will inspire your team to do what feeds their passion and perform at a higher level? Watch the late Dr. Pausch’s video, and your team will never be the same. Take time to discuss this one because everyone can take something different from it.
