REVIEW (From Bill Ellet at Training Media Review)

It isn’t often that art, effective instruction, and a crucially important topic come together in a training video. It’s even rarer when the video is a hoot to watch. All these things are true of The Excellence Files. In concept it’s the sequel to In Search of Excellence, one of the most influential videos of the eighties…

Here’s a recommendation: get this video. Or, at the very least, let your management team know that it exists and suggest (strongly) that they go get it. For total organizational health and well being, The Excellence Files is good medicine. And it’s actually fun to take."
