Nur wenige Monate nach seinem Amtsantritt als CEO hatte Gordon Bethune einen enormen Erfolg zu verzeichnen: Nie zuvor war die Arbeitsmoral besser, und das Unternehmen war auf dem besten Weg zu rekordverdächtigen Umsätzen und Gewinnen. In diesem Buch erzählt Bethune, wie er und sein Team das wohl dramatischste Comeback in der Unternehmensgeschichte in die Wege geleitet haben. Er zeigt, wie Manager mit gesundem Menschenverstand und dem Mut, Gewinndenken einmal beiseite zu lassen, selbst die verbittertsten Angestellten wieder motivieren und zu neuen Qualitätsma stäben anspornen können. Ein lehrreiches Buch, das für Manager in allen Branchen wertvolle und nützliche Lektionen bereit hält. (09/99)
