The Ride of a Lifetime: Lessons Learned from 15 Years as CEO of the Walt Disney Company by Robert Iger

4.0

There are multitudes of corporate philosophy books and Iger's is not different in that regard. But notable parts include his more detailed tellings of Disney's strategy, acquisitions and the dual sided coin of success and humility. There's something to be said for forthrightness in business, which Iger describes going hand in hand with respect. True to its title, the book offers lessons from his career and they're worth reading. If for nothing else, learn the story of how Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm and 21st Century Fox were acquired (and integrated) on his watch. Any one would've been a laudable achievement for a Fortune 500 CEO, let alone 4 that totaled almost $100 billion.
