Episode description
On a new edition of Thinking Thursdays, Elevate Podcast host Robert Glazer and producer Mick Sloan delve into the remarkable history of Disney's CEO succession process. Robert and Mick discuss how Disney has been putting off the retirement of current CEO Bob Iger for over 10 years, why Iger's first attempt to retire went terribly wrong, and the ascension of new CEO Josh D'Amaro. Robert and Mick discuss key leadership lessons that go far beyond succession.
Before that, Robert gives his view on the shocking rise and fall of silver prices in the market.
