About this listen
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Michael O'Leary by Matt Cooper, read by Stephen Hogan.
September 2017. Ryanair cancels over 700,000 bookings and its powerful PR juggernaut comes shuddering to a halt. For once, the airline's aggressive and flamboyant CEO, Michael O'Leary, is contrite and apologetic.
A month later Ryanair announces increased passenger traffic for October, year-on-year growth and increased profits. Its share price soars. For the moment, it appears, a fundamental shake-up of Europe's biggest airline is off the table. But questions remain about the causes of the debacle and O'Leary's role in it.
Michael O'Leary lifts the veil on the wildly successful and wildly controversial Ryanair CEO. Based on extensive research - including with close associates of O'Leary - the book examines O'Leary's personality, beliefs and obsessions and describes how these have moulded the business he runs. Written by a multi-award-winning journalist and broadcaster, with a thirty-year career covering business and current affairs, it is a fascinating insight into the business behind the man, and the man behind the business.

Super insight into a fascinating mind
I never knew much about Michael O’Leary before reading this book. Weirdly the author doesn’t come across as likeable but he does.

Entertaining and Insightful. Highly Recommended!
Love them or hate them, Ryanair have achieved something incredible, going from a small start up to Europe largest airline in just a number of decades.
That growth can only be attributed to its charismatic and outspoken CEO. A must read for anyone interested in business!
