Few chief executives have been tested as relentlessly: the Global Financial Crisis, bitter industrial battles, unrelenting public scrutiny, and the near collapse of aviation during COVID. In a role where every decision is hugely consequential, Alan sets the record straight and tells his story as it happens – in real time, under pressure – in this candid memoir, tells the story of Joyce growing up in Dublin to becoming CEO of QANTAS and the one of the most influential openly Gay personalities in Australia.
