Share to twitterBob Iger, chief executive officer of Walt Disney Co., speaks during the unveiling of Star Wars:Galaxy's Edge at Walt Disney Co.'s Disneyland theme park in Anaheim, California, U.S., on Wednesday, May 29, 2019. The 14-acre project is the largest-ever addition to the park and the most hotly anticipated new attraction to open at the resort in decades. Disney designers aimed to build a place where Star Wars fans can walk into their own intergalactic adventure.
Iger concludes the book with ten principles that he says are necessary for true leadership. Optimism is number one. “Even in the face of difficult choices and less than ideal outcomes, an optimistic leader does not yield to pessimism. Simply put, people are not motivated or energized by pessimists,” Iger writes.
“It’s as hard to start and run a small business as it is to start a big one. So choose one with the potential to be huge,” he writes. Schwarzman tells a story from the early days of starting Blackstone. Schwarzman wanted to raise $1 billion for his first fund. His co-founder said $50 million was more realistic. They raised $850 million. Go big. That’s what it takes.Over his ten year tenure as Aetna’s CEO, Ron Williams transformed the struggling health insurance firm into an industry leader.
According to Williams, public-speaking is a skill successful leaders must sharpen if they hope to accomplish what Napoleon said is a leader’s most important role: to “define reality and give hope.”
