369: Book of the Week: Ride of a Lifetime

Show Notes: MLDC Book of the Week – The Ride of a LifetimeEpisode 369 of The HaltingWinter Podcast _*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> _*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> What can a Hollywood CEO teach a city manager? More than you'd think. In this episode, Seth Winterhalter introduces The Ride of a Lifetime by Bob Iger, the memoir of fifteen years leading The Walt Disney Company through one of the most remarkable institutional transformations in modern history. Strip away the acquisitions and the brand, and what Iger is really describing is the challenge of leading a large, complex, legacy organization under public scrutiny, with a deeply embedded culture and very little margin for visible failure.  Seth unpacks why this book translates so powerfully into the local government context and previews the five leadership principles the MLDC is exploring this week, from communicating priorities clearly to the quiet power of sustained integrity. If you lead in local government and you haven't read this one, this episode will make you want to.
