If you have not yet had the chance
to pick up a copy of Jim Collins’ book: How The Mighty Fall, I highly recommend this book. As always, Collins has researched companies that were once great and studied their decline. There are 5 stages in the downward spiral, and leaders can learn a great deal by noticing the stages. As Collins points out, it is much easier to turn a company around in the early stages of the decline.
