If there’s one factor Disney discovered below Bob Iger’s management, it’s the worth of a sequel. So we aren’t too shocked to study (through The Hollywood Reporter) that the departing govt chairman, who will go away the corporate on the finish of the 12 months, is engaged on a follow-up to his memoir The Trip of a Lifetime: Classes Realized From 15 Years as CEO of the Walt Disney Firm.
That guide was presupposed to seal Iger’s legacy on the firm. When it was printed in September 2019, Disney was a really completely different place. Covid had but to convulse nearly each strand of its enterprise, from theme parks to theatrical releases. Disney+, its brightest spot within the pandemic, had but to launch.
The interval since has was an sudden coda to Iger’s Disney profession. He abruptly transitioned from CEO to his current role in February 2020, however inside months he was apparently back in the driving seat, The New York Occasions reporting in April 2020 that he had “successfully returned to working the corporate” because the virus wreaked havoc.
