…this feels like “morning in America”

It takes a retired board member to say Iger had no accountability?

He bought and ran Star Wars into a ditch…you think that’s someone with a “boss” does that?

Don’t be stupid, people 🙄

It's funny how Bob Iger is acting like he's trying to clean up Bob Chapek's mess. When it is mostly his own mess. And the only reason Chapek is not allowed to dispute it is because he signed a non disclosure agreement.
Once a person ( Iger ) creates a narrative and the other person ( Chapek ) is mums the word for reasons explained , some fall hook line and sinker for the narrative.

Profound insight from someone who left the board 18 years ago and his job as CFO 33 years ago. Wonder if he's mad he wasn't chosen.

This is why Iger has continuously been CEO for decades... oh wait...
It’s profound insight from someone on the board when it had descent…which ironically coincided with Disney’s largest period of expansion and success

What’s that old fool know?

Care to point me to a succession plan during the last 15 for Disney that’s gone as planned? He’s been on the job now for well over a year when the clear dictate was to keep the seat warm until the successor was chosen- how’s that gone?

Succession plan was absolutely 100% a requirement of Roy Disney when he stopped his proxy and Iger was given the job.

He promised it. Because there is no press release…or it wasn’t converted into a plot for an atrocious D+ show…does not mean it didn’t happen.

It’s time for the defenders to grow up and wear the big kid pants

Iger reportedly sought " advisement " from ex Disney execs Staggs and Mayer on succession plan recently. Ironic that both left Disney when Board gave them no confidence in CEO role at Disney.

You crafted that "gone as planned" so as to exclude Chapek so as to make your cherry-picked point.
Here’s the cherry pick:
Bob thought the world was ending (as confirmed by what an absolute idiot later told Bob Woodward) and quit at newsdump on 2/25/20…the world shut down on 3/15/20

He jumped…was the only ceo to do it…has looked the fool ever since

Here’s more lies from the king of succession:

He’s literally the biggest business loser of covid…it’s hard to dispute. It looks worse everyday. The leave and return set him up to where the flaws in his management have all been exposed. His precious ego and legacy. Now people want him ousted and it’s not going away.
It’s literally his worst nightmare.

I did nothing of the sort. It seems the history of the last decade and a half shows he’s done everything to undercut his potential successor (even Chapek - “planned” or not). If it keeps recurring it’s not a coincidence.
And once Iger left, how did he force Chapek out?

If I recall correctly Chapek as CEO was in favor of massive permanent cast layoffs during Covid only to be undermined by Iger ? who still had his exec office at Burbank with the only one equipped with bath and shower. If I were Chapek a cold shower would help melt the steam coming out of his bald head and ears.

1) He never “left”
2) He undercut him from the outset
3) Because he was a constant palace whisperer to the BOD

It’s all pretty well documented.

No. He left, finally after an extra year on the board.

The fact is, that Iger cooperated (on his own terms) with a succession strategy at least once.

Saying he never did is a falsehood.

Stop already. Everyone knows Chapek never did anything and was just an innocent pawn. It was absolutely Iger’s evil genius plan for Chapek to restructure the company into an accountants wet dream, rule the company with an iron spreadsheet, layoff many of the long term employees, anger and alienate a large chunk of the remaining work force, drive out all the talent in Imagineering, bumble into a fight with the state of Florida and call the guests fat and/or undesirable.
