Executive & Director level Leadership

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

It is an amazing business with passionate cast members who create and execute culture transformative solutions for their clients.

Cons

Executive and Director level leadership does not live the values that Disney Institute communicates. They continue to lose valued Cast Members because of the lack of trust and care exhibited by Leadership. In other words, they do not 'walk the talk'. It becomes more difficult everyday to advise clients and give examples of Disney best practices when they are not part of the reality at Disney Institute.
