While Conquering the Crisis focuses on the health care industry, Stephen Tweed’s expertise offers effective, hard-earned lessons for anyone running a business. His knowledge of business productivity, people, and processes are spot on. I especially liked the “rule of three” recommendations he provides at the end of each chapter. Even if your employees aren’t as hard to come by as caregivers, you can definitely use his advice to help you avoid personnel crises!
