What to expect
The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Michael Woodford's autobiographical account, Exposure: Inside the Olympus Scandal, read by Roy McMillan.
Shortly after Michael Woodford was made President and CEO of Olympus, his dream job turned into a nightmare. After discovering a series of bizarre mergers and acquisitions deals totalling $1.7 billion, he turned to his fellow executives and within weeks he was fired in a boardroom coup that shocked the international business world. Woodford went straight to the press - becoming the first CEO of a multinational to blow the whistle on his own company. Exposure is a deeply personal memoir that reads like a thriller.
Critics Review
Woodford’s story has the hallmarks of a John Grisham novel. A brilliantly gripping book, with a great hero at its heart.
The kind of integrity and courage that Woodford displayed is unusual.
Woodford tells his tale like a thriller. A fine book by a fine man who did the right thing.
A sensational account of a man of great courage and principle who got to the top, and blew the whistle to glorious effect. In the corporate world Woodford is too rare and exceptional a breed.
Michael Woodford took a considerable risk in exposing wrongdoing. He was a study of boldness in action
The most celebrated international whistleblower of recent times… his story is filled with mystery, suspense, duplicity and betrayal
The business book of the year has to be Michael Woodford’s Exposure
In a world increasingly dominated by global multinationals, he just felt someone had to speak out
He lost his job for his integrity
Michael Woodford has proven himself a hero, though he never wanted the battle. He risked everything
A gripping chronicle by a corporate whistle-blower who achieved a stunning victory
He is one of the few foreign businessmen to have penetrated deep inside a Japanese corporation and to report back unflinchingly on what he saw. What he found was not pretty
Woodford has emerged as a hero, named by at least one British newspaper as its 2011 executive of the year. And rightly so. His gift for candor, so evident as a whistle-blower, serves him well as a memoirist.
