| 520 | |a "This book tackles the kinds of challenges every entrepreneur struggles with. How open and honest can you really be with your employees and still run an efficient business? At what point do you seek outside expertise? What do you do when things go terribly wrong? When is it time to leave? The authors and their fellow members of their travelers share their experiences - not just what worked, but sometimes what spectacularly didn't. Some of these stories are harrowing: a worker getting killed by factory equipment, a false accusation of intellectual property theft, a crucial distributor running up a $195,000 deb. with no way to pay it. Others are simply day-to-day conundrums: meeting payroll when you're always in debt, deciding when and how to expand in a responsible way, balancing business needs with your commitment to the triple bottom line. At the end of each chapter, Lorimer and Frasier draw on the stories to offer practical tips that can guide readers through similar situations." "This is a book that readers can look to for affirmation, hope and tools. Others have been through what you're going through, if not worse. They made it and so can you - because they're going to show you how they did it. No book can cover every challenge that might arise, but if you learn from the attitudes, techniques and coping mechanisms these seasoned leaders offer, you'll get through the tough stuff with your sanity and your business intact." --Book Jacket. | ||
