Leadership is never more crucial than when corporate survival is at
stake. But the days of the tough guys are over. The leaders who are
driving today’s sustainable turnarounds understand that the
answers to a distressed company’s problems lie almost always
within the firm itself – usually at middle manager level and
below. The secret is cooperation. Drawing on interviews with top
company doctors and advisers, as well as on the authors’ own
experience, Leading Corporate Turnarounds explores seven key
leadership and management skills required for successful
turnaround, and shows why quickly gaining the buy-in and trust of
all stakeholders is the key to ultimate success.
- Written by the founding directors of the Society of Turnaround Professionals (STP), with a proposed Foreword by the Society’s Patron Sir John Harvey-Jones
- Considers the different drivers of turnaround, the alternatives to it, and the restructuring processes required to move beyond crisis stabilization to sustainable change
- Features international case studies from leading companies including BT, Virgin Express, Arthur Andersen, Parmalat, GE, Lee Cooper, New Look and IBM
