Thinking Outside of the Box-Put into Practice

This book pierces the corporate veil. The author takes you inside the executive suite.Clearly written, precise accounts showing how today's top executives apply their individual attributes and personalities in solving and avoiding business crises. The book demonstrates that managing is 4 parts art and 1 part management theory. This book is both entertaining and insightful. It held my attention like few other business texts.

Essential read for executives

Dealers, Healers, Brutes and Saviors is an essential read for rising and aspiring executives. It gives you a fly-on-the-wall perspective from behind the scenes through inside stories of executives who rescued their companies. It provides a useful framework for incorporating eight management styles of leadership worth considering during times of rapid and radical change. Don't miss it.

A Must Read for all MBA Students

As an MBA student who will soon be returning to the working world, I must say that all business schools around the country should mandate a class in crisis management. Gerry Meyers' first-hand, real world, and in-your-face analysis of major corporate crises encountered at some of the most respected companies in the U.S. is the most useful text I have found to prepare me for the sometimes not so perfect world. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has aspirations of leading a business organization and wants to see what life is really like at the top when the xxxx hits the fan!

Smart, incisive

Dealers, Healers is a smart, incisive read about successful management styles. I'd recommend the book to anyone who has ever longed for a delicious glimpse behind the "business crisis" headlines. I especially enjoyed the chapter on the Harley-Davidson turnaround.

Dealers, Healers a must read

Very worthwhile. Takes you behind the scenes. Fresh commentary from the CEOs makes the stories come to life. I recommend this book to anyone on the way up.
