Machete Moments: a Turnaround Manager: from Burned out at Fifty-four to Turned on for the Next Eighteen Years Doug Otto

Joseph Paul Camarte spent thirty-four years as a successful leader of turnarounds, startups, and other business and community crises. The first half of his career was in manufacturing as a plant manager and a COO.

Toward the end of Joe's manufacturing career he became severely depressed. Then he made the transition to become CEO of a non-profit organization. Here he also led turnarounds and recoveries from other crises. But rather than becoming depressed, Joe found that he was working for half the money and getting ten times the fulfillment as before. Joe is exuberant as he proclaims, "It was a great trade."
