Book excerpt: Every successful business needs to have turnaround tactics in its arsenal. When a business is struggling, it's these tactics that will turn the tide. Everyday Turnaround tells the tale of a turnaround CEO of a fictional organization who uses agile tactics such as kaizen and scrum to achieve success. Author Eric Kish developed and tested the Everyday Turnaround concept while executing 12 turnarounds across seven industries and three continents over a period of 18 years. From the introduction: "The guy who hired me to do my first turnaround was very smart. He gave me on average 18 months to complete a turnaround and then, overnight and with no warning, would move me to the next one. And he would not allow me to take any of the people I trained and coached in the previous one. This became a ritual for the next 10 years and resulted in 7 successful turnarounds. "I had very little time, if any, to prepare for the next turnaround. I had to get my bearings on the spot and 'fly the airplane while it was being built'. This meant that while discovering and developing assumptions I needed to act and have the organization follow. And I also knew that the day will come when I will move on overnight and will leave behind a leadership team and an organization that can fly 'the airplane' without me."
