Saw a report on another site Iger is making comments on gun control. Regardless of what he said about it will they ever learn to just run Disney
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.
All valid points. However, I was responding to a comment that said, "Walt Disney would fire them all," not some nuanced point about better business practices. Making everything about Walt is tiresome and unconstructive.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.
There is a rumor Chapek used to say this to Imagineering heads and it was tremendously unpopular.
It's "The Walt Disney Company" not IBM. Even Iger knows that. A lot of the company's "Soul" is still today from the stuff that Walt Disney and company created. Those "Traditions" are still very important and relevant to the company, even today. It really makes it more complex with the reasons you stated.
He didn’t exactly say anything controversial though, a far cry from taking a direct jab at legislation and stepping into a firestorm.Saw a report on another site Iger is making comments on gun control. Regardless of what he said about it will they ever learn to just run Disney
still is a complete hoax/sideshow…just like RCID…He didn’t exactly say anything controversial though, a far cry from taking a direct jab at legislation and stepping into a firestorm.
Well that’s good at least…He didn’t exactly say anything controversial though, a far cry from taking a direct jab at legislation and stepping into a firestorm.
Maybe this whole time Chapeak was asking himself "What would Walt not not do?" as the ultimate business plan.Ironically,....even when Walt was alive, everybody thought that what Walt wanted to do...would destroy the company.
After a while, when people around him started to trust him...THAT is when Walt got nervous.
I mean, the picture is not even all that funny when it's not super zoomed in on her face. Honestly strange people are so fixated on it.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.
Iger said preventing shootings before they happen “should be among our highest priorities.”Saw a report on another site Iger is making comments on gun control. Regardless of what he said about it will they ever learn to just run Disney
Yeah, I saw a lot of gossip and slander and rumors but no criminal or civil charges.Interesting.
I've heard reported (by female employees) it was for other reasons.
He is creative, no doubt and probably at his core, not a bad guy when the alcohol is out of reach but that doesn't excuse creating an inappropriate work enviroment either from a legal or moral standpoint.
An absolutely must-see from Christine McCarthy if you want to gauge her credentials and, if you must, her actual looks. The video circles around Disney+ without mentioning it since it wasn't out yet. It also shows that she's very aware of the need for good content and good creatives since it's the heart of what they sell. She's not just a bean-counter looking at short-term gains. [Keep in mind that YouTube allows playing videos at a faster speed.]
And an absolutely must-read (or -listen) regarding the 2-Bob Drama and C-Suite handicapping.
Disney’s CEO drama explained, with Julia Alexander
A tale of two Bobs: why Bob Chapek was ousted and Bob Iger is back as CEO of Disney.www.theverge.com
Don’t be so hard on Cruella ChristineYeah - she also insinuated that many theme park customers were fat, too. Perfect candidate.
Disney CFO Christine McCarthy’s “Waistline” Comment Causes Controversy
During this year’s fourth quarter Earnings Call earlier today, Walt Disney Company Chief Financial Officer Christine McCarthy not only acknowledged the potential to decrease portion sizes of food around the Disney Parks in response to recent economic inflation but also made some comments whilewww.laughingplace.com
Yeah - odd that he'd step right back into the political waters. This is the guy that had all the rubber band and fake guns removed from Walt Disney World parks a few years back (especially pirates of the caribbean). Guess light sabers are OK though...Saw a report on another site Iger is making comments on gun control. Regardless of what he said about it will they ever learn to just run Disney
Like James Gunn?John Lasseter ran himself off by being a creep.
Like James Gunn?
Have you been to the parks? Food portion is large. Obesity and diabetes is a real problem in America, and WDW.Yeah - she also insinuated that many theme park customers were fat, too. Perfect candidate.
