Pygmalion Effect: Managing the Power of Expectations

CRM Produced

Runtime: 22 Minutes, plus discussion segments

It's a proven psychological fact. Through something that has come to be known as "The Pygmalion Effect", people will perform according to the expectations others have for them. Limited expectations bring limited results, high expectations lead to exceptional results.

The good news is that you can teach your leaders how to tap into the positive effects of the Pygmalion Effect with their employees, improving productivity and morale in the process.

In this program, trainees get a complete overview of the Pygmalion Effect through real-life examples, dramatic vignettes and scenes from the classic movie Pygmalion, where individuals are transformed through the positive (or negative) expectations of another. The four ways managers transmit expectations to their subordinates -- climate, feedback, input and output -- are explained and depicted.

This third edition also includes video footage from a Pygmalion training session at the Dunn Edwards paint company and a powerful reenactment of a Dunn Edwards success story, plus an all-new interview with topic expert Dr. Robert Rosenthal.

-Susan Paddock

"I like the research the program is based upon and how it helps leaders to consider the impact of their own actions."
-Mary B. Wacker
-President
-MB Wacker Associates

"Observe and see the impact you have on others' lives by your unconscious actions and words. Jerry Harvey, a social psychologist, has a saying: 'When the knife is in my back, why are my fingerprints on it?'. With this video program, managers and leaders can realize the impact and power they have in any communication, especially if they think they are innocent of any involvement when the other person has succeeded."
-Austin "Ozzie" Gontang, Ph.D.
