Look, I feel for any person who loses a job…he took (and still does) take his deserved abuse on this forum. In his tenure as CEO, in a very short time, he managed to alienate the diehard fans, the cast members from both corporate AND the parks and lastly, he list the Board of Directors which led to his ouster.
Yes, you can ABSOLUTELY and ultimately blame Iger, but Chapek rubbed EVERYONE the wrong way and was NOT the type of person you would want to sit at an airport bar and have a beer with…abrasive personality, NOT a people person and seemed not to have the ability to change on the fly and react…a good CEO (like a good coach) has the ability to make changes on the fly…whether he chose not to, or didn’t have the ability to do so is still up for discussion…hopefully, he will take some reflection and introspection and adapt for his future pursuits. I really hope he’s able to overcome his shortcomings and become a better executive…not every position is a perfect fit.
