#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A memoir of leadership and success The CEO of Disney shares the ideas and values he embraced while reinventing one of the world's most beloved companies and inspiring the people who bring the magic to life.

AN NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

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. Under Iger's leadership, Disney's value grew nearly five times what it was, making Iger one of the most innovating and successful CEOs of our era.

In The Ride of a Lifetime, Robert Iger answers the question: What are the qualities of a good leader? He 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 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."

Holds up well!
Size: 4 Pack, Size: 4 Pack
We used these brackets to hold up our snowboards on the wall (as seen in photos, apologies for the bad quality) and they held up very well. The brackets were a little hard to get into the wall, but that may have been the area we put them in. But for the most part the installation was simple, they looked nice, served its function, and are worth the money

Just what I needed.
Size: 6 Pack
A little on the pricey side, but really sturdy and well made. I needed an odd size set of brackets to fit a shelf in an awkward spot. I wasn't sure I'd find brackets with arms long enough for my needs without using some ugly white hardware-store shelf brackets. These look great, are very heavy duty, and just what I needed. I debated the purchase because of their initial cost, but once I got them I realized their quality warranted the premium price. Overall I'm very happy with them.
