Download Casey's Law: If Something Can Go Right, It Should AudioBook Free
Murphy's Law instructs us that if something can fail, it will. Nonsense! says Al Casey, who maintains: If things can go right, they need to. But you've got to make them go right, he gives, by hard work, focusing on key problems, and thinking in folks around you. Perhaps one of the most successful - and original - American entrepreneurs of our time, Al Casey is a no-nonsense turnaround specialist who adores only the big problems, whether in the private or the general public sector. As chief executive of the days Mirror Organization, he was instrumental in taking that Western Shoreline company, whose main "product" was the Los Angeles Times, and turning it into a multifaceted mass media giant, with hobbies in magazines, newspaper publishers, book publishing, forest products, radio, and tv. As chairman of North american Airlines for 11 years, he had taken that ailing giant - heavily in debt and losing money when he became CEO early on in 1974 - and made it in to the highly profitable, preeminent company it is still today. As postmaster basic he attacked the problems of the country's most significant government agency - with almost a million employees - and kept it leaner, more determined, for the very first time truly competitive, and - to the great delight of Washington insiders - both effective and profitable. When the cost savings and loan debacle unfolded in the later 1980s, with a huge selection of thrifts having failed and hundreds more under siege, Al Casey was named chairman of the Image resolution Trust Organization, with the impossible job of bailing out a situation that was threatening the entire banking system of the United States. In this publication Al Casey instructs his exciting latter-day Horatio Alger tale, from boyhood days and nights in Arlington, Massachusetts, where he grew up through the Great Unhappiness, through his 50-time business career, to his current role as Distinguished Professor at SMU's Cox Institution of Business, where he's helping form a fresh era of business leaders and managers. On this audiobook he relates, with great appeal and wit, the saga of his long and varied business career and will be offering functional advice on where and how American business needs to simplify and concentrate if it is to maintain its position as global innovator in the 21st hundred years.
