Collected Christmas Horror Shorts 2

Public, Private, Public is an inspiring case study of a company that went through a bankruptcy, overcame the odds, and emerged triumphant. Author and former CEO Kevin J. Kennedy presents a detailed account of a good company with a profoundly constrained balance sheet. Avaya, a leading telecom company based in the Silicon Valley, found itself in the crosshairs of three tectonic forces: a newly fashioned debt profile associated with privatization, the adverse and prolonged economic cycle of the Great Recession of 2008, and the need to drive business model transformation while the march of competition and technology commoditization hastened. This fascinating book places you in the cockpit to absorb the history, challenges, choices, and the outcomes of an incredible operational transformation. The results boosted profitability by 200% and enabled this private company to return to the public equity market. With compelling charts and supporting data not typically found in a corporate memoir, you will learn about the frameworks for navigating complexity, assessing debt leverage, and maintaining alignment with a long-term transformation. Public, Private, Public challenges company leaders, business professionals, and any student of business to think about risk-adjusted outcomes and imperatives amid the current environment of changing capital structures. About the Author Kevin J. Kennedy is a Senior Managing Director of Blue Ridge Partners, a Silicon Valley-based consulting firm. He previously served as the CEO of Avaya and JDS Uniphase during key periods of transformation following the bursts of two economic bubbles. In his role with Blue Ridge Partners, Kennedy puts his extensive operational expertise into practice, helping companies accelerate revenue growth.

Devil in the Details provides a step-by-step pragmatic guide to leading teams. The experiences Kevin Kennedy shares here are real and will help you practice your own leadership in a new way. Penny Herscher, president and CEO of FirstRain Inc. In the bloated world of management books, this is an all-too-rare license to think. The chapter on working with the board alone is worth the cover price. Ric Andersen, partner, Milestone Partners When journalists, technology beat writers, or business historians write the story of a high-tech company, they tend to lapse into clichs. Devil in the Details is the opposite of such books. It allows you to observe things at close range and get an unvarnished picture of how management and leadership really work. Kevin Kennedy is direct and unafraid. Betsy Atkins, president and CEO of Baja Corporation In business as in other aspects of life, the best leaders balance emotion and inspiration with a meticulous understanding of the details. With respect and compassion for aspiring leaders at all levels, Kevin Kennedy guides the reader using situational techniques that work equally well in the back office and the board room. The Honorable Gregory W. Slayton, founder and principal of Slayton Capital; former US Consul General and US Chief of Mission to Bermuda An insightful journey through real-world case studies of leadership, both the good and the not so good. Marty Kaplan, chairman of the board, JDSU
