What makes a meeting worth the time? How involved should leaders be in the work of their employees? What does it take to turn a failing company around? Businessman and former Starbucks CEO Jim Donald chats with Brian about the hands-on, revitalizing framework that earned him the moniker “The Turnaround King.” Punctuated with memorable action points and vivid stories, Jim’s advice offers something worthwhile for leaders of all kinds. (Spoiler alert: He takes his coffee black.)


Jim Donald is a world-class executive widely known for his unique ability to revive financially ailing organizations and lead through uncertainty.
