The leadership

Under the leadership of Bob Iger, Disney has been able to complete three key deals: the purchase of Pixar in 2006, Marvel entertainment in 2009, and Lucasfilm in 2012. Disney would not be the media giant it is today without the guidance of Bob Iger spearheading these acquisitions.

The bottom line

One true testament to Walt The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS)’s leadership style is demonstrated by the creation of The Disney Institute . The Disney Institute strives to teach inspiring leaders everything from quality service, to brand loyalty, to innovation and business excellence. Disney has the magic touch when it comes to leadership and is willing to teach it to anyone, for a price.

If businesses can figure out how to build a culture of excellent client service and innovation, the people and profits will follow. This idea is stated best by Henry Ford: “A business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large. The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) is a strong buy as long as it continues to focus on its people while nurturing and expanding its impressive entertainment portfolio.
