Wahiba’s Reviews > The Ride of a Lifetime: Lessons Learned from 15 Years as CEO of the Walt Disney Company > Status Update

-wherever u are along the path, u are the same person u have always been.
-when u look at ur self and see titles, u have lost ur way.
-principles are always on the top; they are more important than money or anything else.
- decisions that affect my ambition ,my life and the life of others must not be affected be friendship or anything. Principles first.

-surround your self with people who are good and good in whay they do

He understood why they were acting that way, and solved the problem( No EGO!)
-"Long shots are not always as long as they seem". We think it is too big that we don't even try. Most of the time, it is not. With enough commitment and thoughtfulness, the craziest ideas can be done( like befriending Steve jobs and buying Pixar)
- Few strong pros defeat a lot of cons( steve's power to weigh the pros&cons of a decision

- I must write my thoughts from now on.
- Sometimes we let our ego influences the choice we make. When those two men( forgot their names 😶) were attacking Bob publicly and even went to the court because they didn't approve of appointing him CEO to Disney. He could've went to the court and won, but instead, he reached out to them individually and talked to them. He said he did not argue; he listened.

-Iger starts literally from the bottom
- wakes up at 4.15 and dedicates that 'early time' for himself.
-Great to care about the product, greater to care about the people and the product.
-Neglected Roon's mood swings and focused on the pros of working with Roon(i.e, perfection)
-The head of Disney gave his personal number to a parent (humbleness )+ ask what to do
-know what you don't know and ask people that know
