The Battle of Anaheim
You've probably heard about Roy Disney's campaign to get Eisner out of power. While reading the January 12 issue of Fortune, the following paragraph resonated with me:
"...But this battle for control of an American icon is not just about shareholder value or corporate governance. Nor is it about the animosity between Roy Disney and Michael Eisner, though there's plenty of that. It is, at heart, about a family and its legacy. Corny as it sounds, Roy Disney wants to take the company back from Michael Eisner because, he says, it has lost its soul."
I also found this example of Michael's poor leadership, excerpted from Roy's resignation letter, to be extremely familiar, "The creative brain drain of the last several years, which is real and continuing, and damages our Company with the loss of every talented employee."
I encourage you to check out the http://www.savedisney.com website, and sign the petition.
You KNOW I will be watching this story.
