Others will weaken and fade. It all depends on critical choices they make right now.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeoff Colvin, one of America's most respected business jour-nalists, says even the scariest turbulence has an upside. The best managers know that conventional thinking won't help them in tough times. They're taking smart, practical steps--frequently unconventional and even counterintuitive--that will not only keep them strong, but will also distance them from the pack for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dozens of top-performing leaders Colvin interviewed reject the common view that slashing costs and firing employ­ees are the only effective tactics. They see volatility as a rich opportunity to reinvent their organizations and lay the ground-work for future growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColvin shows us how these strategies really work, using exam-ples of major companies that have successfully applied them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geoff Colvin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1591845599\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781591845591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Portfolio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/28\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.05h x 5.37w x 0.94d","brand":"Geoff Colvin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445399531775,"sku":"9781591845591","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_13c7028e-8f89-4396-bf8a-f654241ad654.jpg?v=1777218352","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-upside-of-the-downturn-geoff-colvin-9781591845591","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
