Robert Iger became CEO of The Walt Disney Company in 2005, during a difficult time. Competition was more intense than ever and technology was changing faster than at any time in the company's history. His vision came down to three clear ideas: Recommit to the concept that quality matters, embrace technology instead of fighting it, and think bigger -- think global -- and turn Disney into a stronger brand in international markets. Twelve years later, Disney is the largest, most respected media company in the world, counting Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and 21st Century Fox among its properties. Its value is nearly five times what it was when Iger took over. Now Iger shares the lessons he’s learned while running Disney and leading its 200,000 employees, and he explores the principles that are necessary for true leadership.

Pretty candid and very interesting memoir submitted by kubiakm on July 10, 2022, 5:02pm Compared to many CEO memoirs, I found Bob Iger's better written and more candid. Being a long-time consumer of ABC/ESPN/Disney/etc, it was both fun and informative to hear his behind-the-scenes leadership accounts and reflections. I saw that he's working on another book now, and I'm looking forward to reading that one when it's released after enjoying this very much.
