The news of Tom Staggs’ resignation from Disney after 26 years at the company came as a shock, at least to me.
No official statement explaining his departure has yet been released, but in less than 24 hours, there’s plenty of speculation, including cost overruns at Shanghai Disneyland, fears ‘he’s not creative enough’, and Staggs’ own impatience at 5 years of CEO vetting by the Disney board.
Everyone is suddenly trying to figure out if this guy was a prince or a frog.
