CEO of Disney across two successful stints, Bob Iger is now about to reveal more about his second time at the helm in a new book ‘One Last Time‘, landing 2nd March 2027, where he shall detail – from a certain point of view – what happened when he retook the reins from Bob Chapek and led Disney into its next era before passing the baton on to Josh D’Amaro.
Former Disney CEO Bob Iger has officially announced his second book, and it will tackle his second run as CEO, according to publisher Penguin Random House.
The book, One Last Time, will be released on March 2, 2027, with Dan Schwerin helping to write it.
Per the publisher, the book “is the candid inside story of the sometimes bumpy, never boring journey to reconnect a great company to its core values, while building a new, lasting foundation in a rapidly changing world.”
Among the topics that Iger will write about is taking back the reins of the company from former CEO Bob Chapek (who wrote a book of his own released earlier this month), but also everything that followed, from the rush of AI disruption to the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel. The two grueling proxy battles and the 2023 Hollywood strikes are also part of the story, the publisher says.
“This is a comeback story,” Iger says in a statement. “It’s about what Disney needed to find its way back to its core values and what that journey taught me about leading in a time of unprecedented challenge and change.”
The veteran executive staff stepped aside as CEO again earlier this year, handing control of the entertainment giant to Josh D’Amaro. He remains on Disney’s board, but is set to leave it at the end of the year.
