Retired Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger has announced his upcoming memoir, One Last Time: Managing Crisis and Building Resilience at Disney, which is scheduled for release on March 2, 2027. The book serves as a follow-up to his previous work and coincides with the ongoing public discourse surrounding former CEO Bob Chapek’s recent memoir, Behind the Castle Walls. Iger’s new book will detail his second tenure leading Disney through significant challenges, including hostile proxy battles and industry-wide strikes in 2023. The publication is expected to address leadership lessons learned during a period of constant corporate crisis and organizational change. Critics suggest the timing may be a strategic response to Chapek’s media tour and other upcoming publications about Disney’s recent history. The book will be published by Random House, with an audiobook version released simultaneously by Penguin Random House Audio.
