Iger is a leader and seemingly good investor who seems to know a good thing when he sees it. After all, under his leadership, he revived the relationship with Pixar that Eisner had destroyed and then he bought them, which was an extremely smart move considering the amount of creative talent they possess. He also bought back and revived the Disney Stores, another of Eisner's idiotic moves. He bought Marvel, which is at the moment producing mega blockbuster hits and he bought Lucas which is not just the film studios and Star Wars properties, but so much more. Now, that's not to say that I think he's the best thing since Walt, because there is nobody that could fill those shoes. However, Iger's leadership has taken a company that was on the brink of being bought out by Comcast and made it into a entertainment media powerhouse unlike any other. Sure, he's not a showman, but is that really what the company needs? I'll take a strong, visionary leader who's silent yet smart any day over a showman (such as someone like Eisner) who might have a tendency to lead with their ego rather than using intelligence, business smarts and listening to their subordinates who are actually focused on their business segments. I think what we need right now, is a strong visionary leader at the Parks level, more specifically at WDW who can see what's happening in Orlando, and seek out new ideas and plans to expand on content and attractions as well as the experience.
