Summary

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.

Great book about a brave man who risked everything to expose corruption in his own company

One of those true stories you hope will inspire others to blow the whistle on corruption in their workplace. Because nothing changes without people like Michael Woodford who are prepared to risk everything for what is right.

I really enjoyed it

It gave me a glimpse into Japanese society, the role of a CEO. I really enjoy following Michael's battle, fighting his way through all the evil, facing up to the odds, not giving up. It never the less added some insight to my mind as someone who has still yet to enter into the work force. Thanks both the writer and audio book for this opportunity.

Well explained and shows the personal perspective

Slightly slower ending to explain all the details but overall very enjoyable and interesting listen.

Very happy I chose this book.

Interesting story let down by the book

A fascinating story but the book is a disappointment. The characters weren't really brought to life.

The narrator sounded more suited to a children's book than a corporate thriller.
