We’ve had a front row seat to all the back-and-forth CEO drama at The Walt Disney Company the last few years.

Starting with the promotion of Bob Chapek to the role in 2020, but continuing through his firing, the return of Bob Iger, and now Josh D’Amaro taking up the mantle, Disney’s leadership has been the subject of many discussions…and many controversies. Now, one thing may be adding fuel to the fire — Bob Iger is releasing a new book.
Random House Publishing has announced that Bob Iger’s new book, titled “One Last Time: Managing Crisis and Building Resilience at Disney,” will be on sale starting on March 2nd, 2027. The announcement for the book was shared alongside the following quote from Iger: “This is a comeback story. It’s about what Disney needed to find its way back to its core values — and what that journey taught me about leading in a time of unprecedented challenge and change.”

This book will follow Iger’s journey through his second tenure as CEO, coming back to the company less than a year after his retirement. He kept the role from 2022 until 2026, when he chose Josh D’Amaro as his successor. Random House says, “He returned to a company facing not just disruption, but a constant drumbeat of all-consuming crises — a permanent crisis that required Iger to learn new lessons about leadership and resilience.”

Back in 2019, Iger published his first book about his tenure as CEO. “The Ride of a Lifetime: Lessons Learned from 15 Years as CEO of The Walt Disney Company” became a New York Times Bestseller and won NPR Best Book of the Year. The book was generally received well by Disney fans and the public.

Of course, former CEO Bob Chapek has also recently released a tell-all about his time at Disney. His book, titled “Behind the Castle Walls: My Thirty Years at the Happiest Place on Earth” was a controversial release, calling out Iger for his campaign of “relentless sabotage.”
