Topics
Joe Adalian: 鲍勃·伊格尔卸任CEO后仍然掌控创意决策,权力交接不明晰,这为公司带来了潜在的混乱。华特·迪士尼、迈克尔·艾斯纳和鲍勃·伊格尔时代都与领导者的个性紧密相连,但他们离职的方式对公司产生了重要影响。迪士尼在继任问题上屡屡失败,难以找到合适的领导者。 Bob Iger: 我认为我和Chapek合作良好,权力不会有冲突。在疫情危机期间,我积极帮助Chapek和公司,因为我曾担任公司CEO长达15年。我相信过渡过程会平稳有效。 Alex Sherman: Chapek因Iger干预公司事务而愤怒,两人关系破裂。董事会意识到Chapek失去了所有其他高管的信任,这导致了对Chapek的幕后政变。我认为Iger从一开始就破坏了Chapek的信任,Chapek是Iger挑选的继任者,但注定要失败。 Kim Masters: 我认为艾斯纳想成为新的华特·迪士尼,他让他的高管们明白,他们不会成为他的继任者。成为迪士尼的领导者是一种强烈的瘾,很难放手。Iger选择Chapek是因为他已经除掉了所有被认为是继任者的人,并且董事会越来越感到压力。 Gary Wilson: 华特·迪士尼是个独裁者,但公司在他的领导下蓬勃发展。艾斯纳应该早点辞职,但他既是CEO又是董事长,所以他不会离开。迪士尼招募了大量有才华的人,他们将来可能会接替艾斯纳。 Jessica Reeferlich: Iger上任后,迅速而果断,让华尔街和世界感到惊讶。他立即收购了皮克斯,修复了艾斯纳对关键合作伙伴关系造成的损害,并试图为迪士尼的动画作品注入新的活力。

Shownotes Transcript

The Walt Disney Company has been led by eight different men in its century of existence. But few would object to the idea that only three have really mattered. Walt Disney, Michael Eisner, and Bob Iger have all made lasting impacts on the company, but how these executives went* out also* left an important impression. Why has Disney repeatedly struggled to get succession right – for one leader to pass the torch to a new one? And what do Bob Iger’s latest missteps tell us about why it’s so hard to let it go?
