My contention is that the overall management of TWDC is the worst it’s ever been…and we can trace the steps how we got here…
So how would promoting anyone from within put them on more stable footing?
Must be new math

Would they take John Lasiter back?

Did he get counselling regarding sexual harassment and alcoholics rehab?

Why do I have to have a preference? The best I can hope for is some unlikely indifference regarding the parks and delegation.
That though doesn’t mean I should just ignore history. Staggs is one the biggest, unsung architects of modern Disney.

You want someone with as much disgust for the parks at 70% of the overall revenue as the failed weasel in the sweater they got now?
High hopes
If that's the case Staggs left Disney when the Board give him the big
for the top job.

Someone with a ego that is satisfied with being the functional head of $DIS that does need to seek out his personal validation by masquerading as the lead creative of a single business unit of a much larger conglomerate.
Stop seeking validation like Stuart Smalley.

I think it basically has to be someone with some studio experience. I’d prefer Josh stay in his role as there is about a 90% chance whoever would replace him would be a worse park exec.
I don’t personally ‘know’ Dana well enough, but she seems to be the most likely pick in my eyes. With the most analogous routing to the roll as Eisner and Iger. This is also someone who has functionally had a career outside of Iger largely, riding that line between an internal/external candidate.

That line was from the TV Show succession. When the CEO (the Dad) tells his kids (exec management) they none of them are going to succeed him. Wasn’t a shot at ya.Right…pull from inside a failing management structure…
That’ll do it!!

If you look at the data, it wasn't just last year that was a huge problem for them at the box office. The question is, are they back on track this year, it is THIS year the anomaly?
I'm not convinced that they will have great box office numbers over the next 5 years. Fantastic 4 and XMen could bring Marvel back to life. However, they'll likely destroy those too, by dramatically altering the characters and storylines.
Their Star Wars movie slate looks...yeah, it's going to be a train wreck unless they change something.

Here’s the thing:
If you’re on the Disney board…which is easier?
Having your person steeped in the studio system get up to speed on basics of theme park management, or
Have a person who came up on the theme park side learn how the studio system works during a period of disruptive change?

Neither. You have co-CEOs each well-versed in their respective fields.

Well played…
I’ve never watched succession…started to but couldn’t get used to the quirky way they wrote it.
Interesting idea though

I think ultimately it needs to be someone who understands brand integrity. That’s for both studio and theme park / experiences.

You mean preserving it?
Or talking about it constantly at tech symposiums and then doing everything you can to cheapen/destroy it the rest of the week?
