Executive Watch

Perspective

Jonathan A. Schein - President & CEO - Real Estate Media - GlobeSt.com10/11/05: Michael Eisner's 21-year reign as CEO of Disney is officially over. Not many will be able to match what he accomplished. Taking a company with two theme parks and a moribund movie studio and turning it into the media powerhouse it is today was a model of vision, determination and incredibly good timing. The entertainment industry has been evolving into a streamlined, integrated platform for years, and Eisner took advantage of this development. He also made several widely publicized mistakes including EuroDisney and personality clashes with other high-powered executives that cost the company hundreds of millions of dollars. In all, we may not see many more CEO's like Michael Eisner because the landscape of business has changed. There is more regulatory oversight as well as a culture where the low profile CEO has taken over. All in all, it was a great ride and a great journey to witness.
