Businessweek has an article detailing Robert Iger and his immediate success. They are right to attribute some of the quick hits to Michael Eisner but they do a good job of showing the differences and hint at why they believe Iger will be successful going forward.

Iger recognized that the problem wasn’t the people running the show. It was the work environment–and he set about changing it. One of the first things Iger did was make the Monday morning meetings less autocratic. Where Eisner held court, Iger encourages a conversation. Even his office is more inviting. Out went the drabness of the Eisner years. In came airiness, family photos, and a cigar store Indian Iger found in the basement of the ABC building in New York. He hangs his suit jacket on it.
