Leading the Turnaround Life

In the concluding episode of The Marvel Mindset, former Marvel CEO Peter Cuneo distills the core leadership lessons that shaped his career and drove Marvel’s historic turnaround. Speaking directly to aspiring leaders, he explores the realities of high-stakes corporate transformation, the personal and professional risks involved, and the question of whether turnaround work is suited for everyone. Cuneo underscores the leader’s responsibility to build healthy cultures, restore confidence, and communicate effectively—whether inspiring a crowd or steadying a discouraged organization. Drawing on his “28 Essentials for Superhero Leadership,” he offers a practical framework for evaluating one’s own leadership approach and navigating real-world challenges with clarity, discipline, and purpose.
