Spiritual Enterprise--- PBS documentary in Fall, 2010
A PBS documentary on the nature of spiritual enterprise will be aired in the fall of 2010. A trailer for the program will be posted here shortly. Here is more information about what the documentary -- titled
Doing Virtuous Business -- will entail.
Doing Virtuous Business is a documentary project presented by PBS station WFYI in Indianapolis, Indiana, for international distribution, including public television stations throughout the United States. This one-hour program takes a modern look at ancient virtues once studied by Aristotle and many of the great minds in spiritual history and then examines how these deeply respected concepts and beliefs are practiced within a modern business environment.
Doing Virtuous Business explores virtues such as Respect, Courage, Patience, Discipline, Compassion, Forgiveness, Gratitude, Humility, and others, and how these virtues, when put into practice, can reshape priorities, elevate organizational vision and mission, and strengthen economic and social parameters. This new business paradigm creates greater long-term value through a type of Capitalism 2.0, or "Virtuous Capitalism," which redefines the very meaning of corporate success in America and abroad.
Doing Virtuous Business spotlights more than a dozen inspirational business success stories, featuring unprecedented access to many of the most celebrated and influential entrepreneurs and chief executives throughout the world. The documentary includes in-depth conversations with Muhammad Yunus, President & CEO of Grameen Bank in Bangladesh and winner of the 2006
Nobel Peace Prize, as well as Franck Riboud, President & CEO of Dannon Foods, William Pollard, former CEO of ServiceMaster, Inc., Isadore Sharp, President & CEO of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Don Soderquist, former CEO of Wal-Mart, John Tyson, Chairman of the Board of Tyson Foods, Inc., Brain Walker, President & CEO of Herman Miller, Inc., Greg Page, President & CEO of Cargill, Inc., Jonathan Reckford, President & CEO of Habitat for Humanity International, Tim Solso, President & CEO of Cummins Engine, Inc., Thomas Hill, Chairman of the Board for Kimray, Inc., and Truett Cathy, founder and Chairman of Chick-fil-A Restaurants, Inc., among many others. Rounding out these engaging interviews are insights from some of the foremost academic leaders at the world's top management schools and universities.
