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.”

评分 评分 评分##小男孩故事很真诚,特别是他已经做了这么多年大公司高管,竟然还保留着强烈的同理心,哪怕是装出来的,装一辈子也就是真的了。这也说明他们这方面教育还是很到位的。 十大管理要点么,随便听听行了,既然出商业类书,难免搞点这些玩意。 Pixar 几个故事讲的好,最后Fox可能跟在这位置上时间久了有关,似乎有点偏了,不过他自己意识到长期站在巨大权力巅峰的危害,也自谦成功很大部分来自于运气。 除了竟然还没退休所带来的不舒服感,这本书非常好。
评分 评分##自从我辞职自己创业后,也不可免俗的进入了本地所谓的一些“创业者圈子”,而这个圈子里最近很多人都开始讨论这本迪士尼前CEO罗伯特·艾格所写的《一生的旅途》。我稍微查看了一下这位老哥的职场履历后,表示更加不能理解: 一群草根创业者啊,跑去钻研一位在大企业里的白领怎...
评分##书和人和公司都太牛了,好像看了一部跌宕起伏的电影。
评分整理了罗伯特·艾格在《 The Ride of a Lifetime》一书中提及的图书、电影、电视剧。部分电视节目和电视剧没有在豆瓣找到(或者说找的到但没有图片)就不放上来了。 毕竟是属于远古时代,属于二十世纪八九十年代。 如果乔布斯还活着,苹果和迪士尼很可能合并了。 电视栏目: [...
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。
