I loved it. It was simple and to the point, yet extremely insightful. I especially liked his genuine tone and willingness to show vulnerability by sharing painful personal past experiences.
Most people believe that turnarounds mainly involve an in-depth knowledge of corporate finance but it's just as much, if not more in certain situations, about psychology and being a really good salesman. This book is a good reminder of that.

Jeff's book is one of the most concise turnaround books available. A few chapters in...I texted all of my colleagues and insisted they pick up a copy as well! Whether you're just getting into your first turnaround or a seasoned vet, I'd recommend his book. He's also very generous with his time and was kind enough to answer a few of my stupid questions.

playbook into turnarounds and steps from distressed to next thing, whether out and through bankruptcy or closing down. somewhat boils down to being honest, transparent and actively managing what you can control.

Excellent, easy to digest, tactical book about a challenging subject.

Good overview of the bankruptcy process, but that is really all the book is, not a guide on how to actually fix any business in 100 days as the title leads one to believe.

Solid book. It leans towards the manufacturing industry pretty heavily, but the concepts are applicable to any business.
