why would they want a former banker to run the most creative instituion on earth - dont promote CFO to COO and certainly never promte a CFO to CEO - shes hardly Safra Katz - shes just a climb the ladder CFO with good fiancial tools. she will just be a shadow micro managing new CFO. shes not the right person - Although he / she does exist somewhere out there among 8 billion earthlings . but not her - she would be like the former cfo that mattel hired and practically bankrupted the largest most creative asset archive American toy company in a few years time - same would happen - Mattels CEO had the largest female ceo parachute package in history - she is no spring chicken at 70 years old. bill gates fires himself at 50 something - jeff bezos fired himself at 51 -now only dinosaur that needs to fire himself is iger- Great founders and ceos know when to fire themselves -
I say if anyone could run disney blindfolded it would be GM CEO Mary Barra - her resume makes this CFO look like someone out of an 1980s typist pool. Her big newb idea of recent was to reduce portions at disney parks to cut costs and she also added 2 cents about americas waistline could use improving -- not something to say to many many money spending Carmel corn chomping hard working Americans that are mostly fat or healthy joe dad - the average american woman is a 16-18 .


if this CFO is allowed to incestioully hog the C suites merry go round - mark my word Shes 1990 Disney Paris fiasco part deux 2 which Eisner Created by treating France as an Orlando centrally located horrible mistake eurpopens hate ruden french amd parisians hate americanism of disney - Eisner grossly misjudged hoarsed facta and withheld data / as we know it should of been built in barcelona spain - sea warm weather - however luckily eisners smarts and golden rolodex made the save in the 11th hour - eisner saves his job through a saudi prince - how many Americans know this ? not many
it's not like Disney Brags about ruthless human rights scion of agrewing to sell 90% disney to saudi prince hush hush it was a peraonal loan witj collateral against prince 17% ownership of citibank at the time - imagine a bank no bank globally would bail disney out - they easily could of gone bankrupt and not just paris joint venture
https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-alwaleed-disney-20171106-story.html this article will explain --- the disaster M Eisner Created which eventually led to his soft ousting as he @ eisner is still the single largest stockholder of Disney even after all these years of not even working there. what the hell does this have to do with the leaderships changes - learn from history - and move on new talent like Mary Barra with a golden rolodex @ us president direct dial - not Ron Desntis like chapek and her pulles. out of their weak internal C suite nerd Rolodex - they will never get Mary Bara - GM would never let that happen- inba million years - Lee Iacocoa saved Chrysler who had less tham 300,000 cash in bank- He brought out caravan and it saved chrysler. Perhaps someone like Bill Ackerman but a CEO mindset a CEO is not annimagineer they honestly only need to make one good decison every day- could you.make one decision a day at Disney? . Of course not! becausw were obsessive Disneyphiles.

What is she, 65-67!!! What the heck do you look like?

For the record, she's not unattractive, at all. The picture is funny but it's quite a stretch to actually make issue of her physical looks.
I do think the discussion on her looks is dismaying and inappropriate. That said, she kind of fired the first shot what with the portion sizes/waistlines fat shaming, not to mention the “undesirable” attendance mix stuff. Her comments, made in her official capacity, have been taken as unusually provocative and demeaning.

She's almost certainly not going to be the next CEO.

Even if she somehow is, it will be for a short stint. She's in her mid-late 60s at the youngest (can't find her birthday anywhere but she's been working since 1981), and the next CEO won't take over until 2024. She's not someone who would take over and run the company for 15+ years like Iger and Eisner before him.
She’d be the same age in 2024 as Iger was when he first retired

No there weren't. There were random people making stuff up but absolutely no credible evidence of any kind.

There was a ton of credible evidence around John Lasseter. He even admitted he'd made "mistakes" or "missteps" or something like that.
If I recall…Gunn says some mysoginistic stuff…

Lasseter got loaded all the time and was a serial Grab@$$ player??

Seems like a “divergence”

You might want to check recent articles about the current cfo to ceo examples they seem to believe your point. Not saying cruella would be right but it is common practice

THIS. Good Lord, the guy admits it, how can you say there were just allegations around? I can't stand the Gund movies, but this is ridiculous.

The “serve shareholders to the exclusion of all else” is quite a new formulation, not some immutable commandment handed down from on high. It’s a philosophy that began to take hold in the mid to late-70s before running wild in the 80s. It has mutated well beyond what even the academics who defined it would have countenanced, becoming unsubtle and caricatured. It’s an artificial philosophy that more often then not harms or even destroys businesses in the long term.

And no, all Disney executives are not “evil,” they’re all marinated in that philosophy with a healthy dollop of arrogance and unwarranted self-regard mixed in, all cooked in an echo chamber of groupthink. The board is the same, as are all potential hires and the Wall Street intelligentsia that will judge Disney’s actions. It’s why, ultimately, the shift from Chapek to Iger to whoever comes next doesn’t mean much.
If a company seeks to achieve a cultural change within the organization then promotes an internal candidate from within, their will be no cultural shift as the new leader/cultural change agent is a product of the original system.

When Disney has to resort to having a paid assistant escort Lassiter around to make sure he tries to behave that’s a sad state of affairs.

You know what's funny?

Unless that internal candidate hates the current culture and wants to sake things up. That could be good or bad depending on the direction. :)

If you watched the video of McCarthy I posted, you all would have seen her with dismay point out how Wall Street expects the unrealistic short-term quarter gains. She then went on to say how there needs to be long term investment in the product, even taking risks and not chasing short-term gains.

And she talks about being in the room with all the creatives and helping them create good product and to keep in mind that's what the company is all about.

But who wants that in a CEO if she once made a bad joke out portion sizes?

AKA “The good ole boy system!” I miss the days of going there as a child in the 60’s & 70’s, as we didn’t live far. Remember having to buy different level tickets depending upon what level ride you wanted to ride on. It’s all about money anymore. The Magic Kingdom is no longer magical!

The recorded comment was inappropriate and I would not be surprised if she gets called out in the parks if she even visits one. She was in an interview when she commented she majored in biology in college because she did not want to work with people . Some of the audience laughed.
