This live seminar DVD, based on the book of the same title, is both entertaining and educational. It is ideal for corporate training, classroom instruction, or personal development. David Rendall combines the wisdom of ancient philosophers, successful executives and leadership gurus into a clear roadmap for leadership success. Using stories of famous leaders and infamous failures, he illustrates the importance of the four factors: Influence, Integrity, Inspiration, and Improvement. These factors are contrasted with the pitfalls of ineffective leadership: Power, Position, Popularity, and Personality.

A great intro to Leadership . . .:
I found the Four Factors a great introduction to Leadership for my semester-long course for our aspiring college campus student leaders. In spite of the presentation being a "talking head-type" David is a great speaker and can hold the attention of our young freshmen and sophomores with ease. His presentation helped our 60 college-age student to better operationally define the terms "leader" and "leadership!" I highly recommend its use for similar basic leadership training workshops and seminars!
Informative and Inspirational:
This DVD is truly a great find! I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for direction on how to become a great leader. The stories and examples used are entertaining and inspirational! Amanda Jauch, PHR
Timeless principles, solid presentation:
This DVD, and the companion book, are both well worth the money. Given the dearth of leadership DVDs available, Dr. Rendall has really done the genre a favor. I have had the privilege of attending one of Dr. Rendall's presentations live--he is very intelligent, witty and a clever storyteller. His command of the material is thorough, but the best part about the presentation I attended was its practicality. Dr. Rendall's telling points were easy to remember and apply because they were entertaining,... more info
Insightful and Informative:
This video is full of insight and information on leaders, leadership and personal effectiveness! The speaker does a good job of integrating leadership history with personal leadership. This is a fresh new look at practical leadership application. As a college professor, I will be using this video in my management classes to inspire others to be "Effective Leaders."
