Hey, Bob Iger: Tone It Down

Here we are. Already Deadline's Dominic Patten is telling Bob Iger his Return of the Hero sequel at Disney isn't getting great reviews.

There's the stock price. It is the lowest since 1974. So many systemic problems, which some contend had been created by Iger, need to be solved. And there is great questioning throughout the land if Iger is up to that job.

The elephant in the room on this one at Disney and in many other organizations is: If the high-octane persona which used to symbolize the right kind of leadership has become a liability in these complex times? The era we are living in reminds me of the Zen mantra: Clear thinking, don't know.  

No one knows, do they ...

Not at all unthinkable: 

Will investors push the Disneys (and the Teslas) to have the C-Suite circle back from what seems to look, talk, and walk like narcissism to the "servant leader?" 

In the 12-step recovery model those with responsibility are called “trusted servants.” Millions of lives around the globe have been saved. 

Since he became chair of Paul Weiss in 2008 Brad Karp has operated the firm as “purpose-driven.” 

In politics, the non-narcissists like Joe Biden are doing spendidly. Currently 85% of fellow Democrats approve the job he’s doing. That can mean he can count on the fundraising for himself if he goes for a run in 2024 and for those he endorses. And, that can mean they are elected. 

The obvious takeaway from all this could be: Tone it down.
