he can do to be a more effective manager. Viewers then see Tom improve as a man-ager, even though he’s not always perfect. An on-camera narrator also defines man-agement responsibilities and shows that management training can lead to personal advancement within the company. 25 min-utes, workbook, instructor guide.

Video: cat. no. 40.0600 $155DVD: cat. no. 65.0600 $155

Lesson 1: What Is Management?Viewers see Tom and Charlie demonstrate, or attempt to demonstrate, the basic man-agement skills of planning, coordinating, and instructing on the rig with the derrick-man, Bobby, and other hands. The narra-tor joins in from time to time to point out what Tom and Charlie did right and what they did wrong. He also discusses who is responsible for developing management skills and how the absence of such skills usually results in inefficiency. 23 minutes, workbook, instructor guide.


Lesson 2: What Is Leadership?Tom wants to be a good leader. The trouble is, he really doesn’t know how until Charlie and our old friend, the narrator, help him out. Watch as Tom learns what leadership is and learns its value in the workplace. The narrator relates the importance of leadership in improving productivity and how leadership skills are part of effective management. 14 minutes, workbook, in-structor guide.


Lesson 3: How Do You Handle Personnel Problems?Tom is minding his own business at the brake one day when, suddenly, Bobby, the derrickman, starts screwing up, something that hasn’t happened before. Tom is puz-zled by this until Charlie and the narrator show him (and the viewers) what person-nel problems are, the different methods of handling them, and the steps involved in solving them. 14 minutes, workbook, instructor guide.


Lesson 4: How Do You Start Out a New Hand?Join Mike, a new hire, on his first day on the rig and see Tom really foul up in his role as manager. The narrator appears and shows Tom where he went wrong and what to do to improve. Luckily, Tom gets to start over with Mike and viewers see how

to break in a new hand the right way. The narrator points out the special problems of new employees and the advantages of proper training from the beginning of employment. 20 minutes, workbook, in-structor guide.


Lesson 5: How Do You Train Employees?Charlie, the toolpusher, assigns Tom, the driller, the task of training his floorhands. Tom looks at the job as just more paper-work and trouble for him and fails to train Mike, the new floorhand, in the relatively simple task of reloading a cartridge into a grease gun. Charlie finds out and, with the aid of the narrator, straightens Tom out. Viewers then see Tom tackle the problems and methods involved in teaching a new skill to an employee—the right way. The narrator discusses the basic steps of teach-ing and points out that effective training can improve productivity. 21 minutes, workbook, instructor guide.


Lesson 6: Where Do You Fit into the Organization?As a driller, Tom has a lot of responsibilities besides just running the brake. Fortunately for him, Charlie and the narrator show him and the viewer how first-line supervisors function inside and outside the company. They emphasize the importance of good communication and cooperation between field and office and stress that developing good communication skills can benefit both the company and the employee. 20 minutes, workbook, instructor guide.


Lesson 7: How Do You Plan and Organize Work?Join Tom, the driller, at home and on his rig as he struggles with planning and or-ganizing all the things that have to be done on the job. For a change, Tom does pretty well until Leon, the relief pusher, throws him a few curves and Tom fails to take into account some unexpected occurrences. The narrator explains how good plan-ning is essential for effective management and outlines basic steps in planning and organizing work. 21 minutes, workbook, instructor guide.
