Vol. 16, Issue 3 Comeback How Seven Straight-Shooting CEOs Turned Around Troubled Companies By: Martin Puris 256 pp. Times Business 1999 Review by: Lydia Morris Brown

Halting the demise of a once-successful enterprise is far more difficult than starting a company from the ground up. In this kind of crisis, leadership is most urgently required and most the visible. Moreover, the lessons learned in these situations can be used by anyone charged with the responsibility of guiding any endeavor. Comeback profiles nine executives who stepped up to the plate, rescued seven companies (Continental Airlines, Compaq, Chrysler, UPS, Honeywell, U.S. Surgical, and Adidas) from certain death, and led them to new levels of achievement. Their stories provide excellent examples of leadership at its best.
