Bob Iger, the former CEO of Disney, has announced that he’s releasing a new book. The read, titled “One Last Time: Managing Crisis and Building Resilience at Disney” will navigate the lessons Bob learned throughout his second tenure as the CEO of Disney, which he describes as being a time of “unprecedented challenge and change”, while also giving readers a general exciting behind-the-scenes of what it was like to be working at the company.
Bob served as the CEO of Disney for almost two decades, with his initial years at the company spanning from 2005 up until 2020. He then returned for four more years in 2022 before stepping down from the position this March.
Talking about the book in a statement, Bob shared: “This is a comeback story. It’s about what Disney needed to find its way back to its core values and what that journey taught me about leading in a time of unprecedented challenge and change.”
The synopsis further describes the book as navigating a “sometimes bumpy, never boring journey to reconnect a great company to its core values, while building a new, lasting foundation in a highly disruptive and rapidly changing world.”
The book is set to be released in the spring but Bob has authored other books if fans of Disney wish to get ahead with their reading before the next one comes hot off the press. In 2019 Bob published a memoir titled “The Ride of a Lifetime”, which recounted the lessons from his very first tenure as the CEO of Disney.
Robbie Whelan, a journalist at the Wall Street Journal, has also authored a book about Bob titled “The House of Mouse: Bob Iger and The War of Succession at Disney” which is due to come out this December. Happy reading all, and congratulations to Bob!
