Win One for the $hareholders: For more than twenty years, Al Angrisani has been helping troubled and underperforming companies (TUCs) climb out of the rabbit holes they ve created by straying from good, solid business practices and old-fashioned values like responsibility, honesty and hard work. Most importantly, he has shown managers and Boards of Directors how to live up to their premier responsibility: to create and safeguard wealth for their shareholders.
Win One for the $hareholders looks at the time-tested approach that has grown out of Al s work with companies poised on the brink of failure. The book also explores some of the central issues of the time, including the widespread failure of many American companies and government institutions and the need for a new era of responsibility.
This timely, important book charts the course from widespread corporate failure back to corporate success and a healthier corporate America. It s a mustread for investors, shareholders and businesspeople everywhere; it s the model they need to finally win one for the shareholders.
