'Second Shift: The Inside Story of the Keep GM Movement' details the complexities of an automotive industry rapidly transforming due to external economic and market forces; a community reliant upon a local manufacturing facility scheduled to be added to a long list of plant shutdowns; a variety of factions and personalities at odds with the City of Lansing; and a Mayor committed to persuading GM to reverse course on its decision. Even deeper than that though, are the recurring themes of teamwork, collaboration and determination that can be applied to drive any business negotiation to success. In this video, co-authors David Hollister, Ray Tadgerson, David Closs and Tomas Hult discuss their deeply researched book from distinctly personal and unique perspectives, as each was involved in steering this story towards a happy ending. Take a sneak peak at the story and the upcoming PBS documentary at www.film.secondshift.org Moderated by Joanne Sheehan. Get the book here: https://goo.gl/KcHJ53
