Six of the top-level managers involved seemed determined to turn the company around, but the seventh seemed equally determined to sabotage the process. Forget camaraderie. There had been three meetings so far, and Jonathon hadn't even been able to get everyone on the same side of an issue. Farecom, Inc., was in trouble-not deep trouble, but enough for its CEO, Tom King, to make strategic repositioning Jonathon's top and only task.
