Synopsis
Getting Out Of A Company's Golden Handcuffs Is Going To Take More Than Magic
For fourteen years Darcy Holtzman had been going to her job as
the chief financial officer at the largest independent office products
dealership in all of North Carolina, Burgess Industries. And then, one
morning, she arrives at work to discover the owner and CEO is retiring,
an announcement she anticipated more than the one that came after
it: she would be taking on the title of vice president, and her hothead,
controlling colleague, Ron Marchetti, would be the new president.
Darcy knew right then that his appointment would change the course
of company―potentially irreparably―and that it would take even more
time and effort on her and the other managers’ part to keep the
company operating.
Though the story of Darcy and Burgess Industries in The Big Turnaround
is one of fiction, author Ellen McIlhenny draws from her real-life
experiences as a chief financial officer and business advisor to give life
to the everyday workplace issues that plague most of us at some point
in our careers. How the characters in this novel work together (or don’t)
will provide you―whether you’re a CEO or a staff member―insight on
how similar points of contention in our own workplaces can be avoided
and negotiated through.
