If leadership can turnaround a business, can a failure of leadership lead to its destruction?

In Psychology, Pathology, and the CEO  Rosabeth Moss Kanter discussed the role of CEO's in turning failing businesses around.

In Driven to [Self-] Destruction Joanna Pachner discusses the role of a law firm's leaders leading up to its dissolution, particularly the loss of its distinguishing culture which gave the firm its competitive advantage.

She tells a compelling story of the collapse of a firm when it failed to act in accordance with its mission statement (that their business was to be conducted "only within an atmosphere of caring, collegiality, mutual respect, trust and confidence, which recognizes a commitment to the firm as a whole.")
