The Thomas Cook business model was bust last time i looked at it, at least 7 years ago. It is tragic how &#8220;leaders&#8221; remain in the post when they are unable to recognise the sign of a turnaround and are or unable to change their action. <\/span><a id=\"ember1651\" class=\"feed-shared-text-view__hyperlink ember-view\" href=\"https:\/\/www.winningthinking.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.winningthinking.uk<\/a><span id=\"ember1655\" class=\"ember-view\"> is a well-proven tool to prevent such eventualities and check a leaders capability to change their actions.

It is a critical time to develop the leadership skills to see this and act in order to protect a business and the future source of the executives and their employee&#8217;s income? I can think of at least 10 far larger UK organisations in exactly the same situation&#8230; Act?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the leadership skills to recognise a turnaround?
