And yes, everything you said about Disney is true. That's why they need a new leader.Yeah... except he's the ceo of Delta Airlines.
CEO Of The Year: A Conversation With Delta Air Lines’ Ed Bastian

Under Ed Bastian, Delta Air Lines—one of America’s most storied and vital enterprises—engineered a turnaround for the history books, a leadership performance worthy of the title CEO of the Year. But it wasn’t easy, and it isn’t over.
Sometime during March 2020—ask him and he’s not exactly sure of the day or even the week—Ed Bastian walked into the conference room near his office on the Atlanta campus of Delta Air Lines and began the process of saving one of the most important corporations in the world.
On the walls around him were satellite photos of the airports around the U.S. served by Delta—including JFK, MSP, DTW, LAX, SEA, BOS, SLC and, of course, dominating the photos of all the others, ATL, the city-size Hartsfield-Jackson airport located just across the road from Bastian’s office. From space, the airports all look eerily empty. And on that day, they nearly were. Amid the fast-spiraling panic of Covid-19, Bastian was presiding over one of the more traumatic meltdowns in global business history. Delta, which enjoyed $47 billion in 2019 revenue, suddenly had “basically nothing” coming in, and worse, millions of customers were cancelling flight reservations, demanding refunds, draining reserves.
