Another episode from IAAPA 2009 in Las Vegas Nevada!  This week’s episode is not from the Season Pass Discussion room, but from the Disney Legends Discussion Room of IAAPA 2009.  This is the full 2 hour recording of Walt Disney Imagineers Marty Sklar, Blaine Gibson, Bob Gurr, Richard Sherman & Buzz Price’s conversation on Walt Disney’s unsullied leadership abilities and management practices.  This is an astonishing piece of audio.  Definitely for anyone who is a fan of Walt Disney or desires to learn, improve and achieve the ultimate ability of leadership.  The discussion is facilitated by Bob Rogers (Founder of BRC Imagination & Arts).
