Bob Iger Spills on What He *Really* Wants in a Disney Boss
- Bob Iger’s big leadership lesson.
- What makes a good CEO, Disney style.
- Why ‘calm’ is the new ‘cool.’
- Our thoughts on the next chapter at Disney.
We just heard something super interesting from Bob Iger. Yes, that Bob Iger. He’s finally talking about what kind of leader really makes the cut.
Remember all the buzz around Disney’s top job? The ups and downs? It felt like a rollercoaster, right? The whole situation had a very dramatic, almost cinematic feel to it, like a high-stakes corporate drama unfolding in shades of power-suit grey and boardroom mahogany.
Well, now that he’s stepped away for good, Iger is sharing his thoughts. He’s got some clear ideas on what a good leader needs. Especially after the whole Bob Chapek story. Ouch.
Iger said he values someone who can deal with a “real crisis” in a “reasonable and sane and steady” and “mature way.” That’s a big ask. He wants a leader who won’t buckle under pressure.
He’s passed the baton to former parks head Josh D’Amaro. We wonder if Josh fits this exact mold. Time will tell!
Our Take
It totally makes sense. Running a huge company like Disney means facing tough moments. You need a steady hand at the wheel. Someone who can keep the magic alive even when things get rocky. No drama queens allowed in the corner office!
