\u201cI knew that there were myriad challenges that I would face coming back,\u201d Iger said. \u201cI won\u2019t say that it was easy, but I\u2019ve never second guessed the decision to come back, and being back still feels great.\u201d<\/p>\n
Remains Delusional: \u201cI talk about optimism being an extraordinarily important trait of a leader, because no one wants to follow a pessimist. But I also believe that hopeless optimism doesn\u2019t do anybody any good. I have, I think, real reason \u2014 and we have real reason as Disney \u2014 to be optimists, and it starts with the fact that we\u2019re Disney. And Disney, as you know, is a brand unto itself, but it\u2019s also an umbrella company that houses many assets and many great brands. So, reason to be optimistic No. 1 is that.\u201d<\/p>\n
– On Their Recent Flops: \u201cI\u2019ve talked about that a lot recently, because in assessing some of our performance, recently, one of the reasons I believe it\u2019s fallen off a bit is that we were making too much. I think when it comes to creativity, quality is critical, of course, and quantity in many ways can destroy quality. Storytelling, obviously, is the core of what we do as a company.\u201d <\/p>\n
Another dark age couldn’t happen to a more deserving company tbh. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
