NOW, IF A COMPANY WAS ON THE VERGE OF A BK AND WISHED TO HIRE A CONSULTANT TO FORGE A TURNAROUND, WOULD THE CEO/CFO, VP OF SEARCH AND OTHERS LEAVE THE COMPANY? I DON'T THINK SO. I THINK THIS WOULD BE COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE TO MINIMIZING THE TURMOIL DURING THE TURNAROUND SINCE THE CONTINUITY OF THE COMPANY IS NOW GONE...WHAT DOES THAT LEAVE?


And here is a little liesure reading for you...Note the title of the book!!!
