How did Circuit City go from a Mom and Pop store with a mere $13,000 investment, to the best performing Fortune 500 Company for any 15-year period between 1965 and 1995, to bankruptcy and liquidation in 2009? What must leaders do not only to take a business from good to great, but to avoid plummeting from great to gone in a constantly evolving marketplace?

I may be biased since I worked as a Store Director for Circuit City for 7 years. I always knew at store level the decisions that affected our business. What was so surprising to hear were the decisions that were made at a corporate level, behind the scenes. So many opportunities for this great company to recover, were squandered. Circuit City will always remain near and dear to my heart.....I learned so much... And those learnings have helped me continue to be successful in my career. Such a shame though!
