Editorial Reviews

The author originally wrote this book as a training resource for new employees in his turnaround management business. The guide was then used for other professional turnaround projects and finally, was published more widely. It is written to help professional turnaround managers to go into an unfamiliar business, to take operational control over the existing management team, to prepare a turnaround plan and then to implement it.

Paul Sinister

I will recommend this book to any executive tasked with the assignment of leading and or participating in a business turnaround. it was more like the bible I constantly consulted extensively in the business turnaround of a mid-size enterprise I was invited to lead in halting the downward market and financial spiral. I just hope that the new management will not deviate from the extensive surgical works me and my team did.
