Robert Iger

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019 TIME Magazine's Businessperson of the Year 2019 _____________________________ 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. Morale had deteriorated, competition was intense, 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. Fourteen 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.”

一生的旅程

Le idee e i valori per reiventare il futuro, ispirare le persone e trasformare la magia in realtà. Robert Iger è diventato CEO di Walt Disney Company nel 2005, in un periodo molto difficile in cui la concorrenza era più forte che mai e la tecnologia stava cambiando più rapidamente che in qualsiasi altro momento della storia dell'azienda. Iger sapeva che l'unica cosa che contava era reinventare il futuro. Il suo piano si fondava su tre semplici idee: tornare al principio che la qualità è importante; sfruttare la tecnologia invece di combatterla; pensare più in grande e rafforzare il marchio Disney sui mercati internazionali. Quindici anni dopo, Disney è il più grande e rispettato gruppo mediatico al mondo, proprietario di Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm e 21st Century Fox. La multinazionale ha quasi quintuplicato il suo valore da quando Iger ne ha assunto la guida, cosa che ha reso quest'ultimo uno dei CEO più innovativi e di successo dei nostri tempi. In questo libro, Robert Iger condivide le lezioni apprese durante la sua carriera in Disney, delineando i principi fondamentali di una vera leadership fondata non solo sulle capacità manageriali ma anche sulla fiducia nell'essere umano e nella sua insostituibile forza creativa. Coraggio, curiosità, decisione, imparzialità e soprattutto un approccio che sappia privilegiare onestà e correttezza rispetto al profitto, tutte qualità cui Iger ha ispirato ogni suo progetto o rapporto professionale e personale, dalla profonda amicizia che lo ha legato a Steve Jobs negli ultimi anni di vita alla sua incrollabile passione per la mitologia di Star Wars. «Spero che le idee e le storie che racconto in questo libro vi aiuteranno a essere più concreti e intuitivi e ad avere più sicurezza in voi stessi. Sono le lezioni che hanno plasmato la mia vita professionale e personale, e mi auguro possano essere utili anche per la vostra.» Robert Iger
