  Guide opening:

The Guide opens by describing a contemporary business situation that emulates the military command issues raised in the movie.

  Summary of the commentary:

Balancing the interests of the company you work for with the interests of the people who work for you can be one of the toughest jobs you'll deal with as a manager. Being too distant from those you supervise can cost you their commitment and loyalty; being too close can lead you into the traps of overprotecting employees, reduced productivity and conflicts of interests between employee interests and company interests.

Twelve O'Clock High is the story of an American bomber unit based in Britain during World War II. The unit has a leadership problem: Its commander has become too close to his pilots. When he's replaced because he's overly protective, his successor soon develops the same problem.

The commentary is supplemented by BREAKOUT BOXES dealing with these topics:

	Warning: Use Caution When Applying Military Metaphors To Business Situations
	Glory and Reel Glory
	About the Title
	Further Study: Links to Different and Expanded Commentary

THE GUIDE also includes an essay that looks at business as depicted in the movies. For an introductory section on how to use the Management Goes to the Movies™ program, click through to Using The MGTTM Training Program.
