This book focuses on the business story of Walt Disney and the
company he built. Combining a unique blend of entrepreneurship,
creativity, innovation, and a relentless drive to bring out the
best in his teams, Walt Disney created one of the most successful
ventures in business history. Outlining the specific processes of

they need to embrace their own entrepreneurial leadership style, to
lead effectively, to be more innovative, and to build a successful
organization. Through the lens of Disney, the reader learns the
fundamentals of entrepreneurship, innovation, and leadership.

companies of our time. The authors' interviews with high-level
