Four days after Michael Eisner became CEO and Frank Wells became CFO of The Walt Disney Company, they traveled to Walt Disney World to speak to the Cast Members in front of Cinderella's castle at the Magic Kingdom.
Disney could really use another Frank Wells. Notice his comment near the end of the video where he says if the executives and cast members operate the company the way Walt intended, then the stock price would take care of itself. Frank Wells’ speech in this video should be required viewing for every current Disney executive.
I really loved Michael and Frank's Era because they had that yin ☯️ and yang relationship just like how the Walt and Roy Era took place many decades ago
I know Wells wasn’t really a front runner for speeches but damn that was a hell of a speech. In his wallet he carried a fortune cookie receipt saying “Humility is the final achievement.”❤
Sadly the turmoil and drama started after Frank Wells died in a tragic accident on Easter 1994. But Disney 20-25 ago was ran 100 times better and focused on guest satisfaction than the circus we have currently.
Eisner didn’t have the level of experience that Wells had. ofc he’s gonna talk about himself, he has to pitch everyone why he’s the right man for the ship.
Eisner is lying! In the Disney War book by James Stewart it says that Eisner never saw a Disney movie when he was a Kid and only went to Disneyland once with his children before becoming CEO.
Eisner didn’t write that book, so those aren’t his words. I read it and I believe Michael’s own words more than a book written by someone else with their own agenda
