from Book Shelter · host Book Shelter

A professional manual and personal narrative detailing his journey to becoming the CEO of the Walt Disney Company. The text opens with a high-stakes prologue set in Shanghai, where Iger must balance the historic opening of a new theme park against tragic crises occurring back in Orlando. Following this introduction, the author outlines ten essential principles of leadership, such as optimism, courage, and integrity, which he believes are vital for any successful manager. Iger then transitions into his early life, reflecting on how his upbringing and family dynamics shaped his work ethic and character. Ultimately, the work aims to provide universal leadership lessons gathered from forty-five years in the media industry. This overview highlights the author's belief in compartmentalization and the importance of maintaining a human touch even when managing a global corporation.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Ride-Lifetime-Lessons-Learned-Company-ebook/dp/B07PF6XTD8?&linkCode=ll2&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=65e3eee2e9196e449486bf9be45b5127&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by Podcai Studio:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
