#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."

Nice leggings......but
Special Size: 19" Capri without Pockets, Size: Small, Color: Taupe
So, I bought two pairs on sale....one in navy and the other in taupe. Both pairs have a streak mark on the same side, same exact area. I'm on the fence about returning them but I did get them on sale and if the mark doesn't come out in the wash, I can't really wear the in public unless I wear something long to cover the upper thigh area. They fit great and are very comfortable but then there is that unsightly mark. For reference, I am just under 5'0, 105 lbs and bought size small. I will have a think about it the next few days about returning them...or not.

Runs large
Size: 5-6 Years, Color: Purple
This tennis dress does run a bit large, so I’d keep that in mind when ordering. I was also disappointed to realize the shorts underneath are not actually attached, since I expected more of a built-in skort style. The dress itself is cute though and the color is very pretty.

cute tennis dress!
Size: 7-8 Years, Color: Purple, Size: 7-8 Years, Color: Purple
This is such a cute outfit. It has been an instant hit with a 7-year-old who loves to match her outfits. This tennis dress comes with matching shorts underneath. It is a sporty, shorter dress, so the shorts are needed. It fits very comfortably and looks and feels like active wear. The fabric and the cut are good quality. It also fits true to size for someone slightly over 4 feet tall. We are not using this for playing actual tennis, but the style and design definitely match the classic tennis outfit look. Still, this can just as easily be worn to school or on play dates, or simply playing around the house.

Great Color and Stylish Activewear
Size: 5-6 Years, Color: Purple, Size: 5-6 Years, Color: Purple
This girls’ tennis and golf dress stands out with a really great color and a stylish, sporty look. The fabric feels lightweight and breathable, which should be great for active movement and staying comfortable. I like that it includes built-in shorts with pockets, adding both coverage and convenience. The racerback design and fitted cut give it a modern, athletic style that’s perfect for sports or even casual wear. It seems well thought out for both performance and everyday use. Overall, a cute and functional outfit that’s both practical and stylish.
