> --Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager
Available for the first time in paperback, Extraordinary Circumstances recounts Cooper's journey from her close family upbringing in a small Mississippi town to being named one of Time's 2002 Persons of the Year. She provides a rare insider's glimpse into the spectacular rise and fall of WorldCom, a telecom titan, the darling of Wall Street, and a Cinderella story for Mississippi.
Extraordinary Circumstances makes it clear that the tone set at the top is critical to fostering an ethical environment in the workplace. Provocative, moving, and intensely personal, Extraordinary Circumstances is a wake-up call to corporate leaders and an intimate glimpse at a scandal that shook the business world.
