This Blog is All About You...the Aspiring Bold Exec

In this site you'll find an encyclopedia of turnaround methods I have used and proven, over the years, in fixing over a dozen dysfunctional companies, operating as one of America's most successful turnaround CEOs. These techniques and principles are applicable to companies and governments alike. In fixing and saving a dysfunctional company or government, breakthrough changes--rather than marginal ones--are always required. I have stopped weekly postings as i'm now fixing companies again. But the library is still intact for you to explore.

Remember, it's not what you intend to do, it's not even what you do, it's how you do it!! Also, go to www.plagueofgoodintentions.com for more on turnaround techniques applied to dysfunctional countries.

I wanted to research this subject and write a paper. Your post what a thousand words would not. Nice job.

In the interest of full disclosure, I’ll say right up front that Tom Epley contracted me to turn his book into the series of blog entries you’re about to read. This post, however, is being made solely because the value of the techniques, attitudes and bold ideas he developed over a lifetime of work as a turnaround CEO is immeasurable.
Before opening my own business, I worked many years for small and mid-sized corporations. If only Tom had been hired onto their boards! I saw firsthand the very problems he discusses in his blogs…meandering management techniques that did nothing except waste everyone’s time; operations so inefficient you wondered if someone was playing a joke; and poisonous employees who somehow clung to their jobs no matter how much chaos they caused. Yet no one higher up seemed to notice or care.
After working with Tom’s concepts, I see that even when people know there’s a problem, they don’t always know how to handle it. Things can be especially troublesome when the “tried and true” methods simply don’t apply in today’s rapidly changing environment. Tom’s solutions are presented using real-world examples. They aren’t always the easiest in terms of effort but they are chock-full of common sense.
His solutions also make intuitive sense. And that’s where Tom really shines. Through the years, he combined logical analysis and intuitive understanding to tackle corporate problems and achieve eye-popping (and sometimes very, very amusing) successes. Best of all, he’s a great teacher. These blogs break those abilities down into parts anyone can learn and then apply to achieve their own successes.
So what are you waiting for? Click anywhere—even on the stuff you think you know. I guarantee you’ll be back for more.
Warm regards and, of course, all success!
