Books about Crash landing from Amazon.com

Crash Landing is about a business failure: specifically the 1986 collapse of Park Bank of Florida, the seventh largest bank failure in the United States at the time. But in a broader sense, Crash Landing is about leading a business during the most perilous of times-during crisis when there is no visible end to trouble and when there is no solution that seems to work. It is about the "right executive stuff" that turns out to be the "wrong executive stuff"; it is about the painful lessons and emotions that emerged from the wreckage of the Park Bank. It is a timely and serious lesson for today. Crash Landing examines the inside details of what happened at Park Bank, explores the ideas and philosophies found in current business and management practice, and then compares that advice to the author's personal Park Bank experiences..
