一生的旅程 – The Ride of a Lifetime: Lessons Learned from 15 Years as CEO of the Walt Disney Company by Robert Iger, Joel Lovell

作为迪士尼的董事长兼首席执行官，罗伯特·艾格在书中回顾了自己45年的职业生涯，分享了《复仇者联盟》《星球大战》《黑豹》等超级IP的诞生过程，记录了他与乔布斯惺惺相惜的深厚友谊，分析了并购皮克斯、漫威、卢卡斯影业以及二十一世纪福克斯的前因后果。

2005年，内忧外患中的迪士尼面临着被出售的风险，艾格在一片争议声中赴任，将迪士尼的未来之路聚焦为三个方向：打造高质量品牌内容；拥抱科技；着眼全球。他邀请乔布斯加入董事会，招募创意天才拉塞特、技术专家卡特姆拯救迪士尼动画，深耕漫威宇宙，续写《星球大战》科幻史诗，全程参与创建上海迪士尼乐园，成功推出流媒体Disney+ ，让迪士尼的快乐魔法遍布全世界每个角落。

A grand vision defined: The CEO of The Walt Disney Company shares the ideas and values he has used to reinvent one of the most beloved companies in the world, and inspire the people who bring the magic to life.

In 2005, Robert Iger became CEO of The Walt Disney Company during a difficult time. Morale had deteriorated, competition was more intense, and technology was changing faster than at any time in the company’s history. “I knew there was nothing to be gained from arguing over the past,” Iger writes. “The only thing that mattered was the future, and I believed I had a clear idea of the direction Disney needed to go.” It came down to three clear ideas: 1) Create the highest quality content Disney could produce. 2) Embrace and adopt technology instead of fighting it. And 3) Think bigger–think global–and turn Disney into a stronger brand in international markets.

Twelve 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 Iger is recognized as one of the most innovative and successful CEOs of our time.

Now, he’s sharing the lessons he’s learned while running Disney and leading its 200,000 employees–taking big risks in the face of historic disruption; learning to inspire the people who work for you; leading with fairness and communicating principles clearly. This book is about the relentless curiosity that has driven Iger for forty-five years, since the day he started as a studio supervisor 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 evolving Star Wars myth.

“Over the past fourteen years, I think I’ve learned so much about what real leadership is,” Iger writes. “But I couldn’t have articulated all of this until I lived it. You can’t fake it–and that’s one of the key lessons in this book.”
