What metaphor to choose: Donald with a broken leg? Mike Eisner announced his two year farewell the other day, largely appeasing Wall Street and the red-cloaked investors. Not adequate for Roy Disney, who is now reinvigorated to take "Sancho" Gold and tilt at the timeline. See NYTimes story here: Critics Call for Early Ouster of Disney Chief, and a quote from Disney's letter to the board:
"We ask you to immediately engage an independent executive recruiting firm to conduct a worldwide search for a strong visionary leader capable of guiding this company as it faces the challenges ahead," they wrote in the letter. In an interview, Mr. Gold said, "The company should not suffer another two years with a pall hanging over it."
These long good-byes are killer (just as Canadian prime minister Martin).
