Customer Reviews

A book that shares life experience
The kind of book that shares life experience. I also work with turnarounds and it is interesting to find similar experiences occuring in different business environments. I am giving 4 stars, and not 5 stars, because I missed objective analysis methods. Anyone that want to work in a company turnaround should read this book.

A very good checklist for the restructuring professional
I am an insolvency practitioner and found the book easy to read and very instructive. It has been very useful to me as a "how to" handbook for addressing informal restructuring assignments.

Common Sense in Print
Most of the ideas in this book seem like common sense once you read them. The catch is that most people don't think this way until they read it. I found the book an enjoyable read and gave some clear step by step ways to improve a business that's in trouble. I would recommend it to any and all even those of us who are "Recovering MBA's" can be reminded of a thing or two.
