My role model. This is the kind of leader I aspire to be.
Me too
WOW He IS an introvert, from his natural reactions. It also proves that an introvert can be a great leader in the USA with the ability to make his point clearly. Not necessarily party and loud and arrogent all the time.
Yes it's awesome
A lot of CEOs are introverts will well developed social skills. As long as you can tell a story well you’re in the running
I’m throughly impressed with him
Bobs voice is so comforting lol
Betty Lo He sounds like Sinatra.
Paz DeLa Huerta doesn't think so
Like a pedo telling his victim "it is ok. just relax"
Bob Iger is the person I think of whenever someone says "CEO". He led Disney to become one of the world's most powerful media conglomerates
Master Debater Ooooo das a fancy word
Dion Enjoy you mean “person”? It refers to human bean
Master Debater Really, I thought it was human beings
Dion Enjoy common mistake but it’s human beans
Master Debater You’d know
MY GOD, This man is so humble!
he didnt get to where he is being humble though. the man is a master executive
@@MikhailKalashnikovMiG I mean yeah he kinda lucked into the Disney job. His mentor was the CEO of ABC and while working under him, Disney bought ABC.
That being said, he's very good at being a manager of sorts. Like he said, he gets a team of the best who can do each job and then let's them do their thing.
Sure he's humble here, but he's a ruthless business man. A humble man doesn't become a billionaire, because you have to do things a humble man would never dude.
A humble man doesn't simply fire thousands at the sight of a profit increase, or buy another billion dollar company at the sight of future profit growth.
The dude is a ruthless capitalist for sure. So he's the exact opposite of a humble man imo.
You don't make that much money purely as an executive without being an asshole a majority of the time.
@@boppob1343 Bob Iger is a truly remarkable and exceptional fellow human being. I worked at ABC many years ago.
people with a lot of knowledge are the most humble
You have to be kidding me! This is what Abigail Disney thinks ua-cam.com/video/dn8odfnqrro/v-deo.html
this has got to be the best interview i have ever watch... how articulate and precision of everythg he described... i'm impressed.
Bob shows his true colors as not only as an outstanding leader but is really a decent and honorable person who genuinely cares for people. One of his earliest jobs after college, was working as a weatherman for my late husband, Anthony Ceracche at Ceracche Cable Television in Ithaca, New York. In 1978, Bob was awarded the Ceracche Achievement Award at Ithaca College given to outstanding individuals in broadcasting.
My husband, Anthony Ceracche, and I visited Bob many years later when he was head of ABC Television. We brought him an old cancelled Christmas check in the amount of $15.00!!! He sure has come a long way since then, and if my husband were alive today, he would be among the first to congratulate Bob on not only on his many achievements but also on how wonderful a human being he is. He really is Mr. Nice Guy!
Wendy Ceracche
Lovely, happy story. Thanks for sharing.
He should pay his employees a decent living wage
Top story, Thank you!
@@nickcastro3287 Yes, this very important factor was overlooked. It's a well-known fact that Disney does not pay or treat their employees well.
Thank you very much for sharing this Ms. Ceracche.
This is what a “Human Leader” feels like. 🙏🏼 And off course a thoughtful, truthful, and respectful interviewer. Two sides of the spectrum in perfect balance. You make the news and who delivers it. Learn people learn
I worked with Bob for years and supported him to a small extent, he was a pleasure. His attitude was always pleasant. A true gem, you get what you see with Bob. Great guy 👍
One thing that is never mentioned/asked that bothers me is "what time do you go to bed?" It's always the incomplete question of "what time do you get up in the morning?"
GREAT, insightful and uplifting interview!
Thank you! Was thinking the same, like how many hours of sleep are you going on
This is such an important question because it humanizes the person. If you’re waking up at 4:15am then it may be because you’re going to sleep at 8 or 9pm.
i think i found my new favourite CEO what a good dude.
great interview, reading the book now. Seems a rare mix of humility, business sense and an inspiring leader
You can see how he has a positive and optimistic outlook in life. And whenever he speaks makes me smile and get inspired. You can be a chairman with all the power and still be a decent human being at same time.
Fabulous interview! Oprah did what so few interviewers do- SHE LET HER SUBJECT DO MOST OF THE TALKING!!!!
I totally agree! This is one of the finest lessons that ALL people need to learn. Creating an atmosphere where people feel comfortable enough to talk about themselves and allowing them to do that is an art. It is also a key element in communication.
I like Oprah but I respectfully disagree. I actually found her interrupting him quite a few times.
omggg Oprah really interupts a lot
@@renainc.6082 she was kind of on top of him too with the leading questions - trying to get him to say something on purpose. It's really disrespectful - but I don't expect more out of Oprah these days unfortuantely. I think she used to be better - getting to the deep stuff. She turned into a Dr. Drew - just threw everything out the window - but with her it was to make money. With him it's just to be happy and tell the true stories. At some points I was like 'let up'. She pulled it together at the end, but why make it so political and racial? I guess maybe she's supposed to because she's getting to the heart of what everyone wants to know I guess. It was just off-putting and clownish. It's supposed to be more neutral. Recode and Jimmy Kimmel also did that - injecting their own opinions. Like who are they interviewing - him or themselves? Come on!
"YOU CAN'T TRADE DECENCY FIR DOLLARS"
My favorite wording from you.
It is the ONE STATEMENT THAT MATTERS
BUT ONLY BY ACTION
Bob Iger & Oprah Winfrey ROCK!!! Great interview and a GREAT book! 🤩🤩🤩
@Dingus Dangles evidence, maybe Oprah but Bob???
What I appreciate most about Robert Iger is his honesty and self-awareness, characteristics of a great leader.
You're out of your mind! This is what Abigail Disney thinks... ua-cam.com/video/dn8odfnqrro/v-deo.html and she also warns us about the 1% ua-cam.com/video/PXS9MVoIA4E/v-deo.html Don't believe the hype! He's filthy stinking rich and refuses to pay his workers a living wage! Bernie had to go fight with them to finally raise the minimum wage to $15! Disney is a Monopoly that owns most of our media. They OWN Oprah! Open your eyes! ua-cam.com/video/Bzeb6Z96x0A/v-deo.html
@Dingus Dangles Jesus Christ, you're insane 😂😂😂😂😂
@Dingus Dangles I'm not saying there are pedo celebs. I have no issue with u saying that, it's more the fact that there's no actual proof about what u just said. U just told me to look up conspiracies
@Dingus Dangles No I don't. I do know why you might think that but she's not
@Dingus Dangles I hope you're not suggesting the virus isn't real. I agree Hanks might be lying but please accept the virus exists.
My GOD !!! This man is so inspirational. Such a Kind, Humble, Grounded, Intelligent man. RESPECT!!
You have to watch these videos then. He refuses to pay his workers a living wage! Https://ua-cam.com/video/Bzeb6Z96x0A/v-deo.html and also what Abigail Disney thinks... ua-cam.com/video/dn8odfnqrro/v-deo.html
A Bugs Life is UNDERRATED
I love him! He's brilliant, I wished Oprah would stop interrupting him though, there were times he was going to divulge more and she would just cut him off and steer him in another direction
Outside the fact that she would cut him off at times and not allow him to fully complete his point, great watch. He appears to be a very humble and balanced person.
I agree, I was stunned that Oprah would interrupt him. He always stopped talking the minute she did it though, I thought this would give her a clue but it didn’t.
My thoughts, exactly. It was quite annoying. Iger handled it amazingly, though; only finished watching because of him, the constant interruption was driving me crazy.
He's a very handsome older man
He sure
A silver fox.
He works out a lot in his free time and doesn't eat carbs. So that probably helps a great deal.
T_ man Fact check: carbs don’t make you fat
Garrison B. Well a calorie surplus makes you fat and carbs contain a lot of calories, so uhh yeah they kind of do
He look like Sinatra
Zala SLO I was thinking exactly the same, especially the voice even supports that thought even more
@@strellson2011
He is a fan of sinatra, check out his interview with jimmy kimmel
Wonderful to hear Mr. Iger recount his approach to leadership - power and decency can indeed coexist, and Mr. Iger is an excellent example of this premise. Even more so, Mr. Iger paves the way for a future where power and decency not only may coexist, but must coexist.
He's amazing
I love your comment about power & decency can coexist, you should be a writer.
What a wonderful interview and a perfect follow-up to finishing reading his book.
What a hunk!!...on so many levels.
He stays the high ground!!!
"Why would I want to be President of the United States? I’m the King of Disneyland." Walt Disney when asked why he didn't run for office. Amazing that they didn't mention that, or talk about the man when speaking about perfectionism...
Bob Iger is someone that you want to become
I am pretty much done with the book. It is well constructed and very informative.
what would you rate the book?
this interview is great and very encouraging.......I would love to have a copy of his book definitely!!!
I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE HAD THIS MAN AS A MENTOR.
he has a master class
No doubt
@@devin_leary thank you very much for sharing this. I did not know this
Read his book 😊
Such a refreshing interview. Honest, emotional, responsible, inspirational. Our hearts go out to the family of Lane Graves and the fact that they started a foundation in Lane’s name for children in need of organ transplant that helps children in the Florida area to focus on their child’s health instead of paying utility bills. Good on Disney for supporting this wonderful cause.
He looks good to be 68 but then again we all haven't earned 60Million a year....
@Thor Swenson ..Oh I didn't know that..I just thought he does what all those other rich people do, pay for private chefs and expensive unheard of special foods that only privileged elites get access to...
@James Harold ....not sure what you mean.
Doesn’t get paid that much for nothing. If you don’t add value at that level you don’t get to stick around for over two decades at the top. It’s easy and ignorant to equate his appearance with money and ignore the tremendous work ethic and ability he has and a convenient excuse to justify why we don’t have the same appearance or lifestyle. He’s earned every penny and then some. Hats of to him.
there are many billionares that do NOT look good or invest in themselves. what you don't need 60 million a year to look that good. eat right, exercise and some luck with good genes and you can look good too
He also works out every day.
This guy is why disney does great, good leadership = success
lol on that intro!!! Bradley Cooper and Shallow 🤣🤣🤣
This guy is so nice it's unreal !
28:13 I am literally in full blown tears!!!! I remember that day like it was yesterday!!!
Gosh, what a powerful interview! Love him!!!
Black Panther was a $200million movie. Man, spot on!
Learned so much from him, a great leader is the greatest asset a company can have
What a class act of an executive! Admire him so much! Oprah, of course, is a great interviewer.
Not a fan of his politics but he is a brilliant down to earth person who made a huge impact on the Disney company. I wish Oprah had not stepped over a lot of his responses.
So many nuggets of wisdom!
What a great & inspiring interview with Bob Igler by Oprah!!! Thank you!
I give Disney my money gladly. We love going to Disney world yearly. As soon as we get back we start planning and paying for the next. We work hard and it’s our free and fun 10 days out of the year.
Bob Iger for President!
2024
And turn the US into a late capitalist dystopia.
I had the honor of talking to Bob Iger and have listened to him talk in a room once a year and can't say enough how much in awe I am of him as a CEO and a leader. I would follow this man into war.
Anyone who has not read his book, i urge you to read the book. See through his lenses. Trust me the world looks amazing from there.
It was one of the best self-help books I have ever read. The book really felt like a movie, when i read the part with Steve Jobs, I actually felt really sad. I recommend this very much
I admire this man. Awesome mindset.
It is a fantastic book, fascinating. Love it and highly recommend. No preaching no pedagogy just stories fluent story telling.
Just reading his book. What a fantastic man!
Good advice... By lifting up others we “unlock their ability to do much more” .
He’s a class act.
Excellent interview
1. If you have time and you have resources so spend time and apply resources to turn something that is good to something great.
2. Nothing in our life is ever wasted that everything happened for a reason.
3. See crisis and your perspective immediately shifts that you're not in crisis but deal with puzzle then figure out how to prioritize them how to deal them not seeming to be overwhelmed by them or overly anxious.
He’s honestly so adorable 😄♥️
Incredible interview. Wow!
I thought Mickey Mouse was the CEO of Disney. As I have watched on South Park lol.
The elevator part is hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣
Hello from Argentina!!!!
Amazing interview!!
Bob Iger and Oprah Winfrey are the best!!
I love Disney World I travel once or twice a year it’s my favorite place in this world and every year Disney change and get better and better!!
Love him as CEO of Disney and also love Microsoft CEO
The clarity in Oprah’s earring!!! 🔥🔥🔥
I AM ENJOYING THIS INTERVIEW,THANK YOU.
Great interview - going to share what I learned to keep it fresh.
I learned to beat the public to the punch when crisis strikes - to be the defining voice within crisis. I learned to stick with/support good friends in their weakest moments despite the potential material consequences. I learned decency over profit. I learned humility and kindness. I learned that composure is critical for leadership.
he really had more sympathy than I did when it came to the alligator. I don't have kids - so it's really hard to empathize with someone who does. But that's why he's there and I'm not.
Wow I watched all for the first time in my life one hour
Bless You Bob, Wisdom what You have....and thanks for share it
By far one of my favorite interviews I’ve ever seen ✨
Bob and Oprah would be a dream ticket for President and Vice President. They can flip a coin which one is which.
Im pretty sure Bob wouldn't be too keen on helping the little guy...
Most comments I've seen hate this guy.
@@boppob1343 Oprah has more personal money and weight than Bob Iger.
@Rahul Mondal places with reasonable people who don't worship billionaires who only work to help themselves even when they have more than anyone else.
Excellent interview! Very inspiring. I am definitely planning to read this book.
Flawless conversation!!
whattt!!! He looks alot younger than his age. Good inspiration 👏
Glad Oprah did this interview with him.
me too!
why wouldn't she...she even told several times that she wants bob Iger to run for president
it's like every interviewer almost messes with him so much lol. He just takes it and goes with it. He's like 'it might not help you, but if you really want to know, here it is'.
I want to work for Disney now because of this!
I used to have a crush on this guy. I still do, actually.
Me too.
Me threes.
Me four
Me Five!!
I’d totally do him.
"turn something good into something great"🖤
I now definitely want to read his book!
Decent man. Humble. Would make a great President.
43:21 Black Panther discussion
He gaves great full messages for whole world..❤
Hey guys, thanks a lot for this! We started linking to this. But I'm curious... don't you have a podcast?
What a brilliant and inspiring interview.
Might buy some Disney shares with this man at the helm.
wait a while-they're gonna be REEEEEEALLY cheap soon.
@@3dguy917 how soooo .o. ?
Excellent conversation of Robert Iger with Oprah Winfrey. Wonderful personality, very thoughtful conversation on how he could manage such a big business, how he transformed Disney into one of the most valuable company in the world. Three important lessons to note that Quality product matters, Trust the talent from acquisition and let them run their show because they know their product very well and thirdly no boss succeeds without supreme self confidence. Great caring for the humanity, concerned about all employees of Disney and their families. Top most priority goes in handling the crisis to ensure the safety of the employees, transparent communication, risk taking capability and has the unique quality of convincing the boards for adapting disruptive way of doing the business, for an example, moving from business to business to Business to consumers ( B2C). Thank you dear Rober Iger sir. Lot more to learn from you and worth reading your book 'the ride of a life time'.
I will buy this book because of his person.
to be powerful and a human being creates a beautiful great life ❤ just as this guy.
Wow! A modern-day Walt Disney-esque visionary...with even more ‘empathy’ and ‘humanity’!
Wonderful 💖
The absolute best advices about both leadership and Life I have ever heard. Period.
The Cream of the Cream of the Cream of the Cream of the Cream of the Cream of the Cream of the Cream of the Cream of the... Cream of the Best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have seen Oprah wearing these earrings so many times. Check out her Soul Sunday videos, she wears them a lot. May be one of her favorite pieces 🙂
That and maybe they’re too expensive to be kept in a drawer collecting dust.
Humble. Man.
I'm obsessed with this interview. But, of course, Oprah always does the best interviews!
I want to be like RObert IGer someday... or maybe next life
여행 유튜버 Rollin Joint read his book
I wish I had met Robert when he was a kid, I bet he was really funny or skilled at understanding people.
ugh I love you, Bob Iger

Sincere guy.
This gentleman is the epitome of peace and his character has definitely played a big part in Disney's successes over the years.
read robert greene
Yes, especially compared to Bob Cheapek
Aged like milk
When you realise Oprah is richer than Bob.
Black woman. Proud of her.
@@nonefvnfvnjnjnjevjenjvonej3384 what does the fact that she's black have to do with anything?
@@WouterPlanet I'm prouder because she is a black woman. A white woman's life on average was easier than a black woman's life.
When you realize bob is no longer CEO
@@WouterPlanet it has everything to do with it. Yall need to start acknowledging the fact we as black folks have it harder to reach success than other people generally speaking.
I like the part about the phones. Totally agree!
