This is the official website of the Geronimo Stone Stories

 

This book introduces the story of Geronimo Stone and the challenges the employees of Geronimo Stone Records face while trying to save their business.  It uses fiction to introduce the reader to a variety of business situations.  Geronimo Stone is a suspense thriller that takes place in an independent record label in Nashville, Tennessee.  The once-prosperous company is in a state of chaos when its patriarch, Robert “Geronimo” Stone becomes ill and apparently dies from what appears to be natural causes (hint).  His family is then faced with so many challenges, so quickly, that it doesn’t occur to them that there may have been something peculiar about Robert’s demise.  His widow, Brenda, convinces their nephew, Tommy Stone, to take a leave of absence from the consulting firm where he works as a management consultant to become interim CEO of Geronimo Stone Records.  Together they try to restore order to the mess.

Here is a small gift, it’s the free eBook.  If you enjoy reading Geronimo Stone, please give it to anyone you know and ask them to do the same. We are conducting an experiment to see how many people we can get this book to by using a multilayer (friends-to-friends) marketing technique. Several professors at different universities are starting to use it as an action packed case study. I hope you enjoy it too.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Geronimo Stone and the Mobile of Excellent Management

 

 

Imagine you inherit your family’s legendary music company but as soon as you take control, everything is threatened by hostile takeover.  You only have two choices, give up and sell now, or fight.  Either way there are no guarantees.  If you sell, your family is set for life and you may even salvage a piece of your history.  Fight for the legacy, and you will likely lose everything including your professional reputation.  Sell and you may lose the respect of those you love most.  The only person who can help you has died, but he left you with a detailed plan. 

 

In this searing drama, learn the seven attributes of “The Mobile of Excellent Management.”  This, the 1st story in the Geronimo Stone Series, takes place at an independent record label in Nashville, Tennessee.  The once-prosperous company is in chaos when its patriarch, Robert “Geronimo” Stone becomes ill and dies.  His family survives the profound personal loss only to face a hostile business war.  They encounter so many challenges, so quickly, that it never occurs to them that there may have been something peculiar about Geronimo’s death. 

 

The family and remaining junior employees struggle against the compounding challenges of their deteriorating business.  Together, they attempt to stabilize their downward spiraling Blues record label, once the envy of the entire music industry.  They face major organizational change and restructuring, a hostile takeover attempt, subversive senior employees, and more.  

 

See for yourself how they handle this impossible situation with the help of an unusual “mobile” and insightful messages left by Geronimo.  Hold on as you race headlong from tragedy to threat, to surprise solution, and glorious celebration.  All the while, learn to handle the most perplexing business problems of the 21st Century (www.geronimostone.com).
