And in this case, do a Google Image search.

Even in her other most unflattering photos, she doesn't look like a classic villain the way she does in her official corporate portrait.
Those corporate photos were almost ALWAYS creepy…

Iger’s Lt. days looked more cardboard than an Amazon warehouse. You want to “wipe that smirk” off presslers face…

And it made crofton and Wallace look like absolute broom riders…


…wait…cancel the last one 🤔

Yea, but you’re taking her seriously (maybe even frightened). Can’t say she got there on her looks. So, it’s a power move.

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.
My point was that she may have picked a headshot that was not a glamour shot and instead showed her as a determined and energetic business woman.

I nominate Joe Rohde for CEO
Creative, Detailed, Smart, Visionary and closest person to Walt in today's times. Let pencil pushers manage the books. Media execs do what they do. CEO is the guide and team leader.

Or at the very least hire him back to lead Imagineering and get it away from cheap cost cutting leader that Barbra from Gensler is now.

This is insanely picky, who on earth cares what the head of Universal or Paramount or Sony looks like. I assume they have to wear clean clothing, shave or trim various public facing body parts, and because it's California they can't be too fat or have missing teeth. But that's it!

I don't care if she is "Wanda ugly". If she is not the right person for the job then no thanks.

Him coming back would be awesome. However, expensive.

Yes
Tom Staggs and Kevin Meyer should be the next CEOs, even if they would have to buy Candle Media! They can do so by selling their Fox assets and give up on their Hulu takeover. Moonbug and Hello Sunshine would be spun off in the process.

Basing company decisions on "What would Walt do?" in the 70s and 80s nearly destroyed the company.

Walt Disney has been dead for 56 years. Speculating what he would think about particular people he never met, in a world he never knew, complete with its dramatically different culture and business environment, doesn't bring anything constructive to this conversation.

Clearly doing what Bob Iger and the current top execs want to do is not exactly serving the company very well either. Animation diminishing without hits, theme parks dropping attendance to competitor parks and having to hire companies to navigate their hiring freeze and budget cuts.

We don't know the nuances or details of what he may think about specific things, but principles of good treatment and business are a science and well established to know that his philosophies still work, because other successful companies are doing it.

Ugh. I get your idea, but please not Rohde. He's proabably the most over-rated person in the history of The Walt Disney Company. Get a creative person, yes, but please not him.

You have to ignore his past to believe this narrative that Eisner was just a broken person incapable of running Disney from the get go. His past success (and even success after Disney) breaks that possibility.
His flaws made him incapable of successfully running a company such as the Walt Disney Company. Certainly that does not preclude him from having any level of success in any other endeavor, personal or professional.

But of course you know that, its just easier make up straw man arguments.

Did he steal your Bicycle or something??

I throw as much shade at Disney management as anyone and I don’t discriminate ( I have witnesses)…

But your obsession with painting Eisner as useless is not based in facts or rationality.
