The call came from London. They needed me to turn around a disastrous acquisition in Newark. The three managers sent from the UK were incompetent and dishonest, the work force was demoralized, the quality of their standard products was unacceptable and the reason for the acquisition, a $2M order for new special film from IBM was in danger of default. Since it sounded better than a week in Poughkeepsie, I took the job.
