Overview

Looking back, it appears that Disney's rise to power was almost inevitable, but did you know that it was struggling back in 2005 when Robert Iger took charge as CEO? After expensive failures and drama with the previous CEO in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Iger took Disney to places it had never been before.
In The Ride of a Lifetime, Iger shares how he rose to his position and brought the company to its current success. You'll find inspiration in Iger's innovative and daring leadership style and the successes that resulted.
