#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A memoir of leadership and success The executive chairman of Disney, Time's 2019 businessperson of the year, shares the ideas and values he embraced during his fifteen years as CEO while reinventing one of the world's most beloved companies and inspiring the people who bring the magic to life.

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR

Robert Iger became CEO of The Walt Disney Company in 2005, during a difficult time. Competition was more intense than ever 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.

Today, Disney is the largest, most admired 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 learned while running Disney and leading its 220,000-plus 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."

Protect Your iPad
Color: Tea Brown, Color: Tea Brown
Perfect case for my iPad! I love the leather feel of the case especially for professional work settings. The exterior pocket is helpful to hold business cards or any document. I’ve had no problems with the case. The magnetic component keeps my tablet secure and the tablet stays in place when adjusting it. The keyboard connects via Bluetooth and I love that it has different colors to choose from. The light does not stay on the entire time, but it has a button to click on when you need the keyboard backlight on. I don’t use my iPad frequently but this case gets the job done. I always take it with me on flights without an issue and my tablet is always protected.

Affordable and Stylish Folio
Color: Blossom
Things to note: They keyboard requires charging. The keyboard is loose in the folio. For some reason I assumed it was attached. It's not unusable but a little tricky. I would have preferred it anchored into the folio. The folio itself self is lovely and well made. The keyboard feels like I better baby it or one wrong move and I might end it. I wouldn’t recommend it for heavy handers but I do appreciate the feel and lightness. I do wish I had listened to my husband and sprung for a pricier model with pass through charging but for the budget I feel I’ve gotten a good deal on a very elegant looking and functioning case.
