When his father falls ill, a high-flying entrepreneur comes home to try to save his family's restaurant. But if the business is to survive, he must overcome a failing business, inspire disgruntled employees and manage his father's bitter opposition to everything he does.Endorsed by over 100 Global CEOs, Turnaround Artists is a page-turning true-story that guides you on a step-by-step process on creating great culture at work and improving the relationships in your life. Practical, actionable and easy to read, this book is relevant to team members at every level of the organization. Turnaround Artists is a brilliant perspective on the challenges of succession and operation of a family business. This book hits close to home for me as a third-generation family business owner and operator. The easy to read first person narrative tells a compelling, hard to put down story of the unique perspective of a second-generation family member, forced by necessity to overhaul the culture of a family business that has relied upon the leadership of the family founder. The groundbreaking forum tactics implemented in the turn-around can be applied to any business, and help build a culture of trust, transparency, and respect, which I would argue is the key to success. I highly recommend all business leaders read this inspiring book. James Iacino, Executive Chairman of Seattle Fish Company, YPO Colorado "With remote work, we are alone together. This program is a great tool to create virtual work culture." Jim Trounson, CEO Medvale, YPO Idaho "This was amazing...I've already begun running it with my company." Julio Monzon, President MonetizeMore, YPO Global One "Inspiring and spot on in every facet. Turnaround Artists is the rare combination of highly entertaining, heartfelt and not least of all instructional. A must read for anyone who wants to know the ideal way to engage and motivate a team to perform at their best." David Turner, CEO Velocity Now, YPO Colorado Love the book. I felt like I was right there with you at the table talking with the employees. Thinking about what their responses were going to be and when to confront the naysayers and when to give them a pass. A must-read for anyone in or entering into their family business. You captured the complexities of the different characters, especially the "type-A" personality of the entrepreneur Father that started it all and how that affected you in both positive and negative ways. The honesty of your inner dialog is amazing, thank you for writing this book. Tom Clark, CEO Clark's Market, YPO Colorado
