Jim Benson is a businessman, educator, and a former U.S. Marine. He is the owner and principal of J.H. Benson Turnarounds and Recoveries, LLC. Using his diverse background as a senior leader and administrator in business, colleges, and college preparatory schools, Jim has produced his second book on leading, administering, and influencing others on how to achieve organizational greatness. His enviable reputation for competence and success was built through saving forlorn and failing organizations; this is explained in extraordinary detail in Section 56, "Turnarounds and Recoveries." By blending and illustrating his leadership and management experience, he describes what it takes to achieve success in struggling organizations. This book is for senior administrators, executives, and those who aspire to experience the exhilaration--while not succumbing to the stress and misery--that accompanies these exalted positions of responsibility and accountability. As you delve into the wisdom-packed pages, you will be inspired, motivated, disgruntled, and even angry at Jim's advice and counsel.
