Breaking the Code of Silence: Prominent Leaders Reveal How They Rebounded from Seven Critical Mistakes by Mitchell Kusy

by Mitchell Kusy

Kusy and Essex draw from interviews with leaders in both the private and public sectors, as well as analyze high-profile critical errors made by leaders reported in the press, including those at Enron, Arthur Anderson, and the Catholic church. They further provide leaders with a step-by-step game plan for recovery, while also realistically recognizing that not all failure is recoverable.
