The Ride of a Lifetime, Robert Iger

“Optimism comes from believing in yourself and the people who work for you. It’s not about pretending everything is fine when it isn’t, nor about blindly believing that ‘things will work out.’ The essence of optimism is trusting in your own and others’ abilities.”

This powerful insight is just one of many shared by Robert Iger, CEO of The Walt Disney Company, in his book THE RIDE OF A LIFETIME.

If you’re committed to your personal growth, supporting the development of those you lead, and contributing meaningfully to the success of your business, THE RIDE OF A LIFETIME is a must-read.

Among the many lessons, Iger emphasizes the importance of accountability: “Take responsibility when you mess up. In business and in life, the people around you will respect and trust you more if you acknowledge your mistakes. Mistakes are inevitable, but they are also opportunities to learn and set an example that shows it’s okay to fail sometimes.”
