#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A memoir of leadership and success The CEO of Disney shares the ideas and values he embraced while reinventing one of the world's most beloved companies and inspiring the people who bring the magic to life. AN NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR 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. Today, Disney is the largest, most admired media company in the world, counting Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and 21st Century Fox among its properties. Under Iger's leadership, Disney's value grew nearly five times what it was, making Iger one of the most innovating and successful CEOs of our era. In The Ride of a Lifetime, Robert Iger answers the question: What are the qualities of a good leader? He shares the lessons he learned while running Disney and leading its 220,000-plus 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 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."

Disney tegevjuhina tegutsenud Robert Iger, kes valiti aastal 2019 Times ajakirja poolt aasta äriinimeseks, jagab käesolevas raamatus ideid ja kogemusi nii juhtimisest, mida ta on ammutanud enda 15 aastase tegevjuhi karjääris, kui ka elust enesest. "Selles raamatus käsitletud ideed on universaalsed - need ei ole ainult tegevjuhtidele kogu maailmas, vaid igaühele, kes soovib oma hirme ületada, olla julgem iseenda otsustes ja juhtida end paremini nii isiklikus kui tööelus". Rober Iger Robert Iger sai Walt Disney ettevõtte tegevjuhiks 2005. aastal. See oli ettevõttele keeruline aeg. Konkurents ainult tugevnes ning tehnoloogia areng ennustas uut tormilist murrangut. Täna on Disney üks suuremaid ja hinnatumaid meediaettevõtteid maailmas, mille osaks on teiste seas Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm ja 21st Century Fox. Ettevõtte väärtus on kasvanud mainitud tegevjuhi tulemise ajast viis korda ning Robert Iger ise on tunnustatud üheks innovaatilisemaks ja edukamaks tegevjuhiks meie ajastul. Käesolevas raamatus jagab Robert Iger muuhulgas enda järgmisi põhimõtteid: Optimism. Isegi raskel ajal leiab juht optimismi säilitades paremaid võimalikke tulemusi ja on alati hinnatum ning tulemuslikum, kui ta oleks pessimistina või näpuga näitajana. Julgus. Juhid peavad olema valmis võtma riske ja panustama suurelt. Läbikukkumise hirm hävitab loovuse. Otsustavus. Kõiki otsuseid, ükskõik kui keerulised nad ka ei oleks, on võimalik teha õigeaegselt. Otsustamatus tekitab raiskamist ja moraali langust. Oiglus. Oskus inimesi kohelda väärikalt, empaatiliselt ja olla nendega heas kontaktis. Raamatust leiad põnevaid lugusid, tähendusrikkaid avastusi ja elu õppetunde koos Robert Igeriga, mida ta on kogenud alustades ABC stuudiost kuni koostöö ja sõpruseni Steve Jobsiga.
