It\u2019s no longer the happ<\/a>iest place on Earth. <\/p>\n

Disney\u2019s major leadership shift is rankling employees, as former chief executive Bob Iger prepares to step away from his role as executive chairman at the end of the year, according to a report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Newly-minted CEO Bob Chapek is asserting more authority as longtime leader Iger heads for the door, which has rubbed some staff the wrong way.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two men\u2019s once-warm relationship has grown strained,\u201d according to a report by Hollywood trade publication Variety, which cited four unnamed Disney insiders.<\/p>\n

When he left the C-suite, Iger was charged with focusing on the creative side of Disney, including working on Disney+, the company\u2019s important streaming service, but now sources say that Chapek is encroaching on that territory. <\/p>\n

Iger, who held the role of CEO for 15 years, has slid \u201cmuch more into the background than he was a few months ago, even on the creative side,\u201d an anonymous source said.<\/p>\n

Chapek has not only been seen in creative meetings with Iger, but he has also recently convened his own meetings with top creative teams in television led by Peter Rice and Dana Walden without Iger present. <\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone is becoming more and more deferential to Chapek,\u201d an unnamed Disney executive said. \u201cThings are radically different than they were six months ago.\u201d The exec noted that the senior leaders have tried to \u201cinsulate\u201d the creative teams from all the upheaval.<\/p>\n

Sources whispered that Chapek\u2019s tightened grip over the creative business comes now that he has righted the ship in areas that were hardest hit by the pandemic. During the virus crisis, Disney was forced to shut down its Disneyland and Disney World parks worldwide and halt movie and TV production amid global movie theater closures. <\/p>\n

Other sources said that Chapek\u2019s leadership became most apparent when the exec reorganized Disney\u2019s entertainment operations to focus on streaming. They pointed to Chapek\u2019s promotion of his allies such as Kareem Daniel to chairman of Disney Media<\/a> and Entertainment Distribution from overseeing consumer products. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a very different place and a very different organization,\u201d a Disney insider said. \u201cKareem has huge authority and power.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the reorganization\u00a0\u2014 which created three content divisions, studios, general<\/a> entertainment and sports \u2014\u00a0 was meant to produce a more harmonious workflow, it has caused \u201cmore confusion.\u201d Employees griped that the changes have made the workflow \u201cmore convoluted than necessary,\u201d citing an extra managerial layer that stands in the way of projects getting made. <\/p>\n

Another big change that will cement Chapek\u2019s Disney is widely anticipated end of year departure of longtime, well-respected chief creative officer Alan Horn.<\/p>\n

Disney insiders said Horn\u2019s counterpart Alan Bergman, who was recently elevated to chairman of Disney Studios Content, will be taking the creative reins solo. Bergman will have his hands full overseeing various fiefdoms at Disney rom Pixar to LucasFIlm and Marvel, as the company continues to grapple with how to prioritize content for Disney+ and its other streaming services such as Hulu.<\/p>\n

A Disney spokesperson declined to comment. \u201cWe do not comment on rumors and anonymous sourcing.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
