41、dual board members at the meeting, which comes a year after a shareholder revolt roiled Disney and led to Chief Executive Michael Eisner being stripped of his role as board chairman.

47、ure about the qualifications of his second-in command and Iger complaining about his lack of visibility in the company. “No one takes me seriously,“ Iger said to one executive outside of Disney, according to the book.
