內容簡介

內容簡介 【比爾蓋茲推薦書單：歷年書單】《時代》雜誌2019年最成功商業人士公認為當代最創新、也最成功的執行長之一★比爾·蓋茲：這是我幾年來讀過的最好的商業書之一★所有人都想知道的迪士尼真正魔法：執行長羅伯特．艾格十五年精鍊的管理之道羅伯特．艾格在2005年接任華特迪士尼公司執行長。那是個艱困的時期，競爭比以往激烈，技術變遷也比公司史上任何時間快速。艾格明白爭論過去徒勞無益。唯一重要的是未來，而他相信自己很清楚迪士尼該走的方向。他的願景分為三個明確的構想：重新信奉品質至上的概念、欣然接受而非對抗技術、宏觀地全球思考──讓迪士尼蛻變為國際市場上更強勁的品牌。十四年後，迪士尼是世界規模最大也最受敬重的媒體公司，旗下包括皮克斯、漫威、盧卡斯影業和二十一世紀福斯。目前它的市價將近艾格接任執行長時的五倍，艾格也被公認為當代最具創新力也最成功的執行長之一。在《我生命中的一段歷險》中，羅伯特‧艾格分享了他在經營迪士尼和領導二十萬名員工時學到的課題，也探究了真正的領導不可或缺的原則，包括：●樂觀。就算面對困難的選擇和沒那麼理想的結局，樂觀的領導人不會向悲觀低頭。簡而言之，悲觀主義者無法激勵或鼓舞別人。●有勇氣。承擔風險的基礎是勇氣，而在瞬息萬變、混亂無比的商場，承擔風險是必需，創新是關鍵，而真正的創新唯獨在人有勇氣時才會發生。●專注。把時間、精力和資源花在最重要和最有價值的策略、問題和計畫上，明確且時時傳達你的優先順序，是你必須履行的責任。●果斷。所有決定，無論多困難，都該及時做出。優柔寡斷不僅欠缺效率、傷害成果，還會嚴重打擊士氣。●好奇心。保持旺盛的好奇心，就能夠發現新的人、新的地方和新的點子，並察覺與了解市場及其變化脈動。創新之路始於好奇。●公正。強有力的領導包括待人公正而和氣。同理心不可少，平易近人亦不可缺。該給犯無心之過的人第二次機會，太嚴厲的評斷人會製造恐懼和焦慮，因而阻撓溝通和創新。●考慮周到。這是優質領導最被低估的要素之一。這是獲取知識、讓傳達的意見和做出的決定更可靠、也更可能正確的過程。●誠信。沒什麼比組織成員和產品的品質與誠信更重要的了。一個公司的成就取決於為一切大小事務設立高道德標準。這本書是關於艾格從進ABC製片廠成為最基層員工的那一天起，至今四十五年那股永不間斷、驅動他前行不懈的好奇心。也描述了深思熟慮、尊重，以及正派比賺錢重要的態度，那成了艾格實行每一項計畫、追求每一次合作的基石，從和史帝夫‧賈伯斯離世前幾年深摯的友誼，到對《星際大戰》神話不渝的愛都是如此。艾格寫道：書中打動我的想法都是普世皆準，對全球雄心萬丈的執行長如此，對任何希望在經營事業乃至個人生活時少些畏怯、多些自信的人而言更是如此。這本書是關於艾格從進ABC製片廠成為最基層員工的那一天起，至今四十五年那股永不間斷、驅動他前行不懈的好奇心。也描述了深思熟慮、尊重，以及正派比賺錢重要的態度，那成了艾格實行每一項計畫、追求每一次合作的基石，從和史帝夫‧賈伯斯離世前幾年深摯的友誼，到對《星際大戰》神話不渝的愛都是如此。◎本書特色1. 比爾‧蓋茲盛讚！所有人都在等的迪士尼真正魔法：執行長艾格十五年精鍊的管理之道迪士尼成功秘方：在歡樂的主題樂園、精彩的影劇、五花八門的授權商品幕後，執行長艾格首度分享真正的成功之道：他親身示範以全球思考擘劃出一個最強品牌：網羅皮克斯、漫威、盧卡斯影業和二十一世紀福斯，並以品質至上、擁抱科技與宏觀思考為主軸，徹底改造傳統的迪士尼。艾格訴說的不僅僅是一個令人著迷的幕後故事，看看魔幻王國究竟是如何再造自我，而這些經歷、感悟可以應用於任何一個環境艱困、競爭激烈之下想成功的每個人及企業。難怪比爾‧蓋茲說:「這是我幾年來讀過的最好的商業書籍之一！」2. 這個時代最創新、最成功的首席執行長，他是怎麼做到的？艾格被公認為當代最具創新力也最成功的執行長之一，他在經營迪士尼和領導二十萬名員工時學到的課題，為我們重新定義了這個時代的商業本質，提升了管理的藝術：以永不間斷的好奇心、深思熟慮、尊重，以及正派比賺錢重要的態度，實行了一項項計畫、成就了一樁樁購併案，市價將近艾格接任執行長時的五倍之多。你將在艾格身上諸多鮮活故事領略智慧、看到方向、得到啟發。3.一課活的經營學：老品牌是怎麼重塑、壯大？艾格讓迪士尼蛻變為國際上更強勁的品牌，改變每個人對傳統娛樂王國的想像。現在的迪士尼影業集團品牌的建立——包含內容（電影、電視等）、技術（應用程式、使用者介面、顧客獲取與維繫等）、實體娛樂和商品（主題樂園事業、消費品、授權等），就是他在一步步完成腦海中市場藍圖的過程。對每個創業者、經營者都是無價的一課。4雄踞各大暢銷榜首，讀者競相捧讀！美國亞馬遜書店商業類暢銷榜、《紐約時報》非文學自助類暢銷榜、邦諾書店傳記類暢銷榜……堪稱年度最不能錯過的商業巨著。5.大師親身提點，讓你學會、進而活出「自己的魔法」！艾格多年經歷和感悟，不僅啟發讀者領會實踐夢想、管理團隊、經營公司的方式，還在書結尾總結出「領導的課題」，提供一個經大師提點、反思自我的無價機會，你也能寫下出活出自己的魔法方程式。本中文書介出自《我生命中的一段歷險: 迪士尼執行長羅伯特．艾格十五年學到的課題》商業周刊出版#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A memoir of leadership and success: The executive chairman of Disney, Time’s 2019 businessperson of the year, shares the ideas and values he embraced during his fifteen years as CEO while reinventing one of the world’s most beloved companies and inspiring the people who bring the magic to life.NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPRRobert 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. Its value is nearly five times what it was when Iger took over, and he is recognized as one of the most innovative and successful CEOs of our era.In The Ride of a Lifetime, Robert Iger 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 for forty-five years, 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.”
