Sure, but why?

The book is extremely superficial and the nine points that are proposed are covered very broadly. In fact, I could probably come up with their nine points (ten chapters) myself, by simply looking at my old MBA material. I don't doubt that Pate is a turn-around expert, but this isn't his bible. More likely, it is his presentation on why you should hire him, but without him personally talking.

In my opinion, you can safely skip this book.
