In Bolt from the Blue Mike Pullen and John Brodie Donald draw on years of advisory and management experience to show where unknown risks will come from, and what you can do when they hit. Don't get caught out - this is what every CEO needs to know.
In today's corporate world, crises can hit like a bolt from the blue. The headlines are full of stories of corporate disaster and scandal; the kneejerk reaction is often one of denial when an immediate response is needed from management. Bolt from the Blue offers essential insights for every CEO, Board of Directors and Counsel navigating through today's global business environment, with ever-increasing regulation on one side, and an ever-more vocal public on the other. Forget about the old crisis manuals, this is about the real dangers facing companies today - the ones they don't see coming.
Discussing topics such as supply chain crises, regulation and legislation, non-governmental organisations, cyber threats, rogue employees and whistleblowers, Mike Pullen and John Brodie Donald examine the lessons to be learnt from the mistakes of others, and explain how to get through a crisis and come out on the other side with both reputation and company intact.
Dealing with such disasters is no longer just a matter for lawyers; Pullen and Donald show why you need the full spectrum of PR, shareholders, stakeholders and government on your side. This is a must-read for executives in all industries.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to MusicMagpie, Stockport, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
