Robert Iger is chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company. He previously served as president and CEO, beginning in October 2005, and was president and COO from 2000 to 2005. Iger began his career at ABC in 1974, and as chairman of the ABC Group he oversaw the broadcast television network and station group, managed the cable television properties, and guided the merger between Capital Cities/ABC, Inc., and The Walt Disney Company. Iger officially joined the Disney senior management team in 1996 as chairman of the Disney-owned ABC Group and in 1999 was given the additional responsibility of president, Walt Disney International. In that role, Iger expanded Disney’s presence outside of the United States, establishing the blueprint for the company’s international growth today.
A grand vision defined: The CEO of Disney, one of Time’s most influential people of 2019, shares the ideas and values he embraced to reinvent one of the most beloved companies in the world and inspire the people who bring the magic to life.
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, and he is recognized as one of the most innovative and successful CEOs of our era.
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, including:
• Optimism. Even in the face of difficulty, an optimistic leader will find the path toward the best possible outcome and focus on that, rather than give in to pessimism and blaming.
• Courage. Leaders have to be willing to take risks and place big bets. Fear of failure destroys creativity.
• Decisiveness. All decisions, no matter how difficult, can be made on a timely basis. Indecisiveness is both wasteful and destructive to morale.
• Fairness. Treat people decently, with empathy, and be accessible to them.
This book is about the relentless curiosity that has driven Iger for forty-five years, since the day he started as the lowliest studio grunt at ABC. It’s also about thoughtfulness and respect, and a decency-over-dollars approach that has become the bedrock of every project and partnership Iger pursues, from a deep friendship with Steve Jobs in his final years to an abiding love of the Star Wars mythology.
“The ideas in this book strike me as universal” Iger writes. “Not just to the aspiring CEOs of the world, but to anyone wanting to feel less fearful, more confidently themselves, as they navigate their professional and even personal lives.”
飞杭州的飞机上读完第一遍。这本书在个人成长,公司管理,谈判并购三个方面都提供了非常好的典范。很少有读职业经理人写的书这么有感触的。艾格从实习生到迪斯尼的首席执行官,无疑得益于他一系列优秀的个人品质。如果作为董事会成员,又何曾不希望公司是掌管在这样的人手里呢...
评分 评分 评分《一生的旅程》是国际版权市场的热门图书,早在2018年就已经开始了争抢。当时作者尚未动笔,仅凭一份内容简介便引发了全球版权大战。最终,一番铁马金戈,简体中文版权花落读客。 2019年9月,我们终于拿到英文全文,立马着手翻译,启动出版流程。 在国外评分网站Goodreads上,...
评分##五星开局,三星收尾。会讲故事真的很重要,迪士尼在上海开幕那段,真的很抓人,我就是一直看一直看。还有就是刚开始工作那段,少年不认输且带着韧劲的精气神,挺动人的。最后就是收尾一段,提醒自己在高位太久,容易主动或被动地,听不到更多的声音;以及全书写到的各个重要的决定与其带来的后果、收益,都是“后见之明”,挺诚实的。结尾部分还给全书划了重点,略略显得自恋。
