BOB IGER
Steering storytelling
BY MARY BARRA
For 100 years, the Walt Disney Co. has entertained, informed, and inspired people around the globe through the power of unparalleled storytelling. Bob Iger has guided the company to success for nearly two decades and is one of the best leaders I know.
There's a reason Bob remains one of the world's most admired CEOs. He has led landmark acquisitions, championed culture-defining films, launched innovative distribution platforms, and delivered strong financial results, all while never forgetting the people-the employees and the fans-who make it all possible. His return as CEO in 2022 ushered in a new era of transformation and creative excellence for the most magical company on earth.
His authenticity and pragmatism set him apart. "True authority and true leadership comes from knowing who you are and not pretending to be anything else," he said. I've personally learned so much from his leadership.
Barra is the CEO of GM and is on Disney's board of directors
