The Ride Of A Lifetime by Robert Iger!

The Ride Of A Lifetime by Robert Iger. This was a book that I read totally by accident- I have been borrowing books during this lockdown from a friend and thank god for the recommendation.

This Book was a beautiful ride into a journey of how much ones goes through to reach the top. But, In an entertainment business & media business, it’s very competitive. During Robert’s tenure, there were so many important acquisitions he acquired and managed to keep re-innovating and to keep Disney relevant as an organisation to an extent that he acquired Rupert Murdoch organisation for Disney and got access to a bunch of media channels including a popular streaming platform of theirs in India the Hotstar app and rebranded Disney+. There are so many insights to share, The relationship with Steve Jobs and how he convinced him and manages to acquire Pixar.

Trivia:

  • Wide World of Sports an ABC Broadcasting channel became the 1st U.S Media house to enter North Korea in the late 70s.
  • Apple & Disney collaborate for Television Shows on iPod Touch.
  • Marvel, 21st century Fox Studio, Star Wars acquisitions by Disney.

 

Robert Iger shares some of his lessons.

  • Tell Great Stories
  • Innovate or Die
  • Relentless Pursuit Of Perfection
  • Take Responsibility, When you screw up
  • Be Decent To People
  • Excellence & Fairness
  • True Integrity
  • Value Ability
  • Ask Question You Need to Ask.
  • Managing Creativity is Art.
  • Don’t Start Negatively
  • Don’t be in the business of playing it safe.
  • Don’t let ambition get ahead of the opportunity
  • We all want to believe we are indispensable
  • A company’s reputation is the sum total of the actions of Its people and the quality of its products
  • Optimism emerges from faith in yourself and in the people who work for you
  • You need to convey your priorities clearly and repeatedly
  • It should be about the future
  • Treating others with respect is an undervalued currency when it to negotiating
  • You have to do the homework
  • If something doesn’t feel right to you, it won’t be right for you.

This is one of the best books, I have read this year! And another interesting bit of news is recently Robert Iger announced he would be taking the role as the CEO For the popular video app Tik Tok an App that is currently banned in India As there have been ongoing conflicts with China.

Apple -isn’t different any more ?

Hello!
I am Akhil nanda ,I recently bought an iPhone 5s (silver) on 15th February 2014 ,India ,Maharashtra Nashik .and just recently about 10 days ago my phone charger had to be moved to charge my phone ,and just a week ago it don’t even charge ,so then I had gone to maple service centres (Mumbai ) and then what they told me was shocking that my USB cable is fake duplicate .how is it possible to get a fake USB .and mind you this was a sealed box.
It was then on my visit to Nashik I went to the dealer and he told me I try again with nayassa Nashik service centre .then and there I spoke to apple representative on theroll free no .and he told me to go back to the dealer I bought from it’s been nearly a week since I have got a feedback ,is this the way you give your customer service .also I have been using apple products since a long time ,I have a mac ,iPad ,and iPhone but haven’t had any issue like this before .
Hoping to hear from you soon .
Thanking you
Akhil Nanda

the day @ apple service centre

the frequent visit to apple service centre ,would really make me think oh god ,these days apple has really lost its appeal.All devices whether the iMac,iPad,iPod,MacBook Pro ,or  the iPhones all are coming for check ups  and daily(the two visit) i see more than 20 people in the waiting for there turn in the hour been there .but well when there are more then million user you expect a few problem and once again its only one brand service centre ,so i really wonder with brands like samsung & blackberry the two most popular and widely used smartphones . And where again i meet people and they say oh god there are so many  problem with this blackberry its gets hung so many times and the main question how many problem & customer with complaints come a day ,and how many phones or devices get replaced . its really  make me wonder how these organisation gives away so many replacements.And while i agree there would be a few genuine problems there are other who are trying there luck to get a new device just because there device has become slightly old .so is this how service centre work?
