Abstract:
Iger became CEO of the Walt Disney Company in 2005, during a difficult time. His vision for the future came down to three ideas: Recommit to the concept that quality matters; Embrace technology instead of fighting it; and Think bigger-- think globally. Here he shares the lessons he's learned while running Disney, and explores the principles that are necessary for true leadership. -- adapted from jacket
