Over Coffee with the Mouse: Life and Leadership Wisdom from 32 Years at Disney and Beyond

By Mark Rucker

Early in his career, Mark Rucker's father suggested a life practice: create a file of things that are important to you and add to that file as you learn.

So, Mark created a "Leadership" file. Whenever he learned a valuable lesson in leadership, he added it to the file. He did this throughout his entire thirty-two-year career with Disney and beyond.

Many of these lessons came in the form of advice, which he would request from friends and colleagues over coffee, helping him solve his greatest leadership challenges at work as well as the day-to-day personal challenges of life and marriage.
Over Coffee with the Mouse is the culmination of an entire lifetime of leadership advice from a grateful man who rose to global leadership within the Disney organization.

Whether you're an executive struggling with hard choices or an aspiring leader looking to hone your skills and avoid mistakes, you won't want to miss this book.

Reviews for Over Coffee with the Mouse

[N · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This quick read has been immensely insightful, a pleasant relief to me as I navigate the world of ever-changing leadership…older texts on the subject have just been “missing me” but something about the honest tone of Mark’s accounts really landed with me. Thank you Mark
