GOOD TO GREAT

In a New Public Television Special, Bestselling Author Jim Collins

Explains Why Business Thinking is Not the Answer

What practices do the Dallas Police Department employ to make its city safer? Could these same principles be responsible for Southwest Airlines outperforming its competitors Delta, American and United? And, how are efforts to curb the high-school dropout rate in Arizona connected to Starbucks***** gamble in China ***** the land of a billion tea lovers?

In Good to Great, a fascinating documentary shot in High Definition, business guru Jim Collins provides the answers. Based on his bestselling book of the same name, the program is a revealing look into the guiding principles and practices of six business and social-sector organizations. Despite the diverse challenges of their respective industries, each organization*****s bold leaders and empowered employees together have achieved extraordinary success. Out of their stories emerges the answer to Collins***** five-year quest to uncover *****What makes good...great?*****

During the one-hour special, which airs on public television stations nationwide beginning January 1, 2007 (check local listings), the charismatic and knowledgeable Collins investigates the keys to enduring success.

Collins opens with a discussion of Southwest Airlines***** success within an intensely competitive industry. He singles out Southwest*****s high-spirited culture and focus during its first 30 years as the reason for its ascension to the position of America*****s largest and most profitable airline. The production received unprecedented access into a meeting between Southwest*****s CEO and his 2,500 employees, providing an insider*****s view of the company*****s culture, its core values, its perception of competitive threats and its leadership.

The next compelling segment details one school*****s extraordinary gains in fighting the 50 percent high-school dropout rate among Latinos. By improving teaching programs at the elementary level, the number of third-graders at the Byrne School in Yuma, Arizona who could read at their grade-level or higher jumped to almost 100 percent. Good to Great contains footage of a typical *****intervention***** meeting with staff and teachers ***** the primary method for monitoring each young reader*****s daily progress.

Good to Great then visits Dallas to uncover how Collins***** principles have helped the police department significantly reduce the crime rate. The mayor, newspaper editor, police chief and others comment on the application of so-called *****principles of greatness***** to government. The segment includes rare footage of the department*****s daily *****Command Meeting,***** in which officers discuss the previous day*****s crime activity.

In addition, brief profiles of three *****Level 5***** leaders, along with short pieces on Walgreens and Amgen, illuminate Collins***** principles in action.

The final segment charts Starbucks***** growth over the last 20 years, illustrating Collins***** concepts of *****flywheel***** and *****core values.***** Remarkable footage of the company*****s expansion in China ***** from the chairman reviewing the new product line to baristas-in-training ***** shed light on Starbucks***** approach to expanding its coffee business.
