Episode 547 Long Shots Aren't As Long As They Seem

In this episode we explore one of the most powerful leadership lessons: Sometimes long shots aren't as long as they seem. Reflecting on Disney's pursuit of Pixar- a move many thought unlikely or impossible- Bob Iger discusses how leaders often talk themselves out of bold ideas before they ever take the first step. Today we examine why organizations become risk-averse, how fear disguises itself as wisdom, and why some of the greatest opportunities in leadership begin as ideas that seem unlikely to succeed.
