In 'The ride of a lifetime,' Robert 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. Its value is nearly five times what it was when Iger took over, and he is recognized as one of the most innovative and successful CEOs of our era. 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. 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.

Competition was more intense than ever and technology was changing faster than at any time in the company's history. |a Robert Iger became CEO of The Walt Disney Company in 2005, during a difficult time. |a xxx, 354 pages (large print), 8 unnumbered pages of plates : |b illustrations |c 24 cm |a New York : |b Random House Large Print, |c |a Lessons learned from fifteen years as CEO of the Walt Disney Company. |a Lessons learned from 15 years as CEO of the Walt Disney Company. |a The ride of a lifetime |h : |b lessons learned from 15 years as CEO of the Walt Disney Company / |c Robert Iger. |a TEFBT |b eng |e rda |c TEFBT |d BDX |d OCLCF |d GK8 |d TEFBT |d PX0 |d UAP |d IHX |d EB$ Let me know what you think of it.|a 9780593170984 |q (large print |q paperback) I think that's all pretty clear in my interview with him. I have watched his 'Ride of a Lifetime' unfold, and have seen his amazing work ethic, and his ability to be able to make those bold decisions but do it without losing his humanity, his empathy, and his kindness. I was the co-host, and Bob had just been named President of ABC. I first met Bob on January 3, 1993, the debut of the new GMA/Sunday show. Disney's acquisitions under Bob's leadership reflect that - Pixar, Marvel, LucasFilms (Star Wars) and 20th Century Fox. Iger embraces that, just as he embraces the concept of making bold decisions that might not pay off in the next quarter or year (Wall Street loves short term gains), but will pay off years later. He examines with honesty and transparency the changing nature of corporate behavior - from shareholders as the only stakeholders - to an expanded view of corporate citizenship to include other stakeholders like workers and customers and the community at large.
