Turnaround

In this memoir of leadership, the former governor of Massachusetts Matt Romney tells how he accomplished a truly Olympian task--organizing what became the very successful 2002 Olympic games in Salt Lake City, Utah. When he accepted the job in 1999, the Olympic Committee was facing severe financial hardship as well as a credibility gap caused by allegations of bribery of officials. Romney is credited with overhauling the Olympic management, raising funds, improving security, and overseeing an enjoyable and ultimately profitable Olympics. In 2002, the Republican Party encouraged him to run for statewide office and apply his skills to government. In TURNAROUND, Romney tells how he drew on his many life experiences, including his business experience in Boston, to take charge and get things done. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
