Reuters reports that Walt Disney’s President and Chief Operating Officer Bob Iger has said he said he would “welcome a shot to succeed Michael Eisner as chief executive, but has not actively campaigned for the job”. Iger, who is often considered a likely candidate for the post said, “Obviously if I was offered the job, it’s a job I would love to have. I’m not suggesting that I have a campaign trail of any kind. Ultimately these are decisions to be made by the board of directors. They should be based on one thing, and one thing only, and it’s the performance in the current job I have. I’m concentrating on the job I have in hand”.
