Random House to Release Iger’s New Book “One Last Time” in March 2027

On March 2, 2027, Random House is set to release One Last Time: Managing Crisis and Building Resilience at Disney, a new book written by Bob Iger, the ex-CEO of Walt Disney Company. Written with the collaboration of Dan Schwerin, the book will cover Iger’s second stint as CEO at Disney from 2022 until 2026.

This book will narrate the experience of Iger’s comeback at Disney amid times of challenges for the corporation. The book comes after the bestselling memoir The Ride of a Lifetime that Iger wrote in 2019.

Insides of Disney’s Second Leadership Era

As per Random House, One Last Time talks about how Iger tries to connect Disney to its roots while laying the groundwork for Disney's future. The second tenure was about facing two antagonistic proxy fights, the strike of 2023, by writers and actors, and also the broader issue of artificial intelligence and its impact on the company leadership along with evolving expectations from the public.

Decision-making amid pressures and managing priorities amidst uncertain times are also issues highlighted in the book.

The other issue discussed in the book was that of ABC’s temporary removal of Jimmy Kimmel from being the host of his show.

Leadership and Resilience Lessons

The book details the ways in which the leaders of businesses can act in times of crisis while maintaining organisational values and adapting to changes. It also highlights the significance of accepting mistakes and creating new methods for resilience and creativity in leadership.

As Iger put it, the book was all about a comeback tale and how Disney had to get back to its basic values and what he learned from it when acting as a leader amid the times of change.

Publication Information and Formats

One Last Time will be released by Random House in hardcover and electronic book form. The audiobook will be released by Penguin Random House Audio simultaneously and will feature Iger reading the book himself.

Publication rights for North America have been acquired by Andy Ward from Esther Newberg of CAA.

This new book is another contribution to the story of leadership within Disney, and will allow readers to analyze the perspective that Iger brings to the events and challenges that brought him back to the company.
