Murphy's Law tells us that if something can go wrong, it will. Al Casey tells us: If things can go right, they should. But you've got to make them go right by working hard. One of the most successful—and original—American businessmen of our time, Al Casey was a no- nonsense turnaround specialist who, if offered a choice of two or more jobs, always chose the more challenging. He transformed places as diverse as American Airlines and the United States Post Office into successful giants. Here, with great wit and charm, he offers practical advice on where and how American business needs to focus if it is to maintain its position as global leader in the twenty-first century.
