Good pointI think Iger was a good-to-excellent CEO for the Disney corporation. I don't think he was an especially good CEO for Disney theme parks.
Those are two very separate things. Since this is essentially a theme park board, when people are down on Iger I assume they're solely focused on the parks.
Another excellent point??? The biggest price increases in the companies history were mid-Iger era. Recent %increases for tickets and hotels have been downright skimpy compared to those from ~10 years ago.
That’s because he started worrying about his “legacy”…the parks are the most identifiable longterm accolade for a Disney ceo…That’s fair but I think he was a much better CEO for the parks than the average person does. He clearly by the end of his tenure though had developed a mentality of cutting the small things to funnel more money to big things, and I don’t think that is good. Chapek has doubled down on that.
some just realize it sooner than others.
That died in the 1980s…when companies stopped feeling the need to kiss your butt for money you gave them long agoWhere is the Walt Disney and his vision and leadership that made this a magical place? Disney may have lost that never to be recovered again.
