    Bridge the Gap: How Leaders Can Revitalize Broken Organizations
    • Many US businesses are failing, with about 70 percent buckling after ten years, often due to poor management rather than just economic downturns or technological disruption. Can leaders revitalize struggling organizations before they collapse? If so, they can preserve jobs and sustain communities. In this insightful guide, author and CEO Michael Rodenberg outlines how leaders can restore broken companies by addressing overlooked foundational issues. Business leaders will learn to assess their company's current reality, even when facing "the brutal truth"; focus on "mission critical" aspects; restore workplace culture and relationships; consider long-term personnel and system needs; engage with the local community; and empower employees and managers to contribute meaningfully while maintaining unity around corporate vision and values. Rodenberg shares his experience revitalizing a multinational tier one automotive manufacturing company, hired to help the US division become profitable. His successful restoration is evidenced by increased profits and industry awards. This book is essential for leaders of all company sizes, providing strategies to instill new energy in failing businesses and improve thriving ones.
