Turnaround.
By Wm. Bratton, now LAPD's chief, formerly from NY and Boston. It's really a
good look at how putting the right people in the right places (Warren Bennis,
"Good to Great," says successful management is getting the right people on
the bus, the wrong people off the bus, and the right people in the right
seats!" ) Bratton's book exemplifies this perfectly, as well as the
innovative use of hand's on management styles, getting buy in and ownership,
and fighting crime from the bottom up, which embodied the use of COP/POP.
