Case Study: The Walt Disney Company

Andrew Ward

Chapter Chapter 9 in The Leadership Lifecycle, 2003, pp 127-146 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Having developed the Leadership Lifecycle over the preceding chapters, including the leadership roles that correspond with the phases of the organization’s lifecycle, the dangers inherent in transitions from one phase to another, and how it is possible for some individual leaders to span multiple roles, it is perhaps advantageous to illustrate the Lifecycle by looking at how the various roles and transitions apply over time within an organization. This chapter and the next will apply the model to two organ-izations that have enjoyed substantial and storied histories to provide a historical application of the Lifecycle to these respective organizations. This chapter applies the Lifecycle model to The Walt Disney Company, and the following chapter to Marks & Spencer.
