"This book should be required reading for all junior executives, middle managers and top executives as well as for students and professors of business, and anyone else concerned with the problems of people working with, for or over other people....Mr. Burger tells a fascinating story indeed, with all the vigor and style of we;;-written fiction. The opportunities for vicarious identification with the subjects of the various case studies recounted are multitudinous, which only add to the vitality of the content.... A solid candidate for the outstanding business book of the year." ~ Library Journal

In today's cost-conscious industrial climate, the seemingly 'without a second thought' firing of company executives is a scene that is becoming more and more commonplace. Firing is a painful experience for any executive, be he the dismissed or the one who dismisses. It is also a loss to the company which does it. The purpose of this book, then is to alleviate the unpleasant business of executive firing--to highlight the prudent steps that can be taken to eliminate, before they expand, problems that lead to the replacing of executive employees.
