Disney CEO Bob Iger sits down with Bob Myers | Lead by Example

Despite all of his success as CEO of Disney, Bob Iger has an underdog mentality. Bob Myers sits down with him to examine his leadership journey and how the development of his strong work ethic early in life led to his success. They discuss his negotiations to purchase Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm, as well as Disney’s shift to streaming and the risk that went along with that decision. Iger also reveals his desire to own an NBA team one day, and gives a hint at the type of owner he would be. This episode was recorded prior to Bob Iger returning as CEO of Disney.

Very natural, relaxed manner of conversation/interview Bob...After that Wiseman draft (huge) mistake, maybe late night talk host?

[@lhbbq]

Amazing content!

[@konabebe1]

Great information 😊

[@maybo975]

Great discussion on Leadership and how Bob's life experiences shaped him into the successful CEO he is today. Key takeaway - protecting an incumbent position is not a winning strategy. 🙂

In the basic concept, Bob Iger is a brilliant man. 5 steps ahead...

[@JudgeDredd_]

Get him on with Stephen A

[@zayn9763]

Stop cutting him off

[@sonoftheredfox]

This is why ESPN has lost itself. Maybe if they focused on producing quality sports content instead of interviewing snakes like Iger, the network would be watchable again and possibly regain some of its integrity that it has lost in the last 10-15 years.

Wonder when someone is going to have the guts to ask Iger how he feels about ruining an unruinable brand.

Between Newsome and now Iger, he’s really going after the antithesis of leaders isn’t he? Lol
