In 1996, a "Core Team" at the Inland Tracy California corrugated box facility recruited individuals to address the task of driving the future of the facility. Their initial task was development of a five-year plan. The plan was to initiate actions to improve the status, capability, character, and work environment of the facility. The team embarked on a learning process to determine:
* Why did traditional management practices not make the plant successful previously?
* What management styles and practices do successful industrial facilities use?
* What will motivate the people of Tracy to pursue success, set a higher standard, and achieve a winning performance?
