Following on from his New York Times #1 bestselling 2019 book “The Ride of a Lifetime,” Bob Iger will release his next as-yet untitled book in 2024 through Random House. The release will, amongst other things, look at how Disney and other corporations dealt with the COVID crisis.
Currently untitled, the new work is described as a “playbook on leading in times of crisis and disruption that takes readers behind the scenes for crucial decisions at the highest levels of business, entertainment, and politics.” The book will see Iger, who served as an executive and board chairman of Disney until December 2021, examine how the company and other major corporations have dealt with the health and economic crises caused by the COVID pandemic. The book will see Iger drawing on his experience to share insights on why leaders succeeded or failed during the crisis, and he’ll share tips on managing during a crisis.
The North American rights to the book were acquired by Random House executive vice president Andy Ward from literary agent Esther Newberg at ICM. The book is tentatively scheduled to release in 2024.
