well, or at least "not the 2nd half of Eisner's run" ... I htnk his first half, when he had Frank Wells, was pretty darn successful and the company was struggling when he came in - but I get your point
He did great things but its more fun to remember the bad : )
I’ve been looking for an opportunity to say I am finishing up “Disney War” and OMG I have been so angry about how Eisner treated people and the lack of character he had. My husband has been laughing at me and how worked up I’ve gotten. He appreciates the visionary that Eisner was in his early years at Disney, and I guess I do too. Plus, some of his impulsive, egotistic unilateral decisions actually worked in the favor of Disney (Comcast). But, overall, I think he was a terrible person.
I *am* somewhat interested in reading this Iger book; however, having read Disney War, I will take everything written with not a grain, but a boulder of salt!!!
