Many Disney fans were stunned last week when Disney's Board of Directors announced CEO Bob Chapek's contract had been extended. While insiders expected this, many are still puzzled as to why when they see prices going up in the parks, quality going down at the movies, and politics whirling everything around in between.
I wasn't in "the room where it happened" but we can look at a number of factors that occurred when the board of directors met at Walt Disney World last week. We'll look at events during a critical ten day period and how they supported Bob Chapek's role. We'll consider how Walt Disney World was the stage for making a case in favor of Bob Chapek. We'll look at five very tough questions about Bob's performance, and how they have probably been countered. And finally, we'll look at the number one concern the board had--and it wasn't around politics, box office performance, or even Genie+.
Join us in this podcast while we look at the crazy events of June and try to answer why CEO Bob Chapek's contract was extended at Disney.
