QuikQuote: Michael Ovitz, the former Walt Disney president, "seemed to have no understanding at all" of the basic responsibilities of an executive in his top-rank position, a leading employment law professor said on Sunday.
He did not achieve or advance any of the goals set when he was hired, failed to take any of the burden off Michael Eisner, chairman and chief executive, and failed to establish himself as a worthy successor, Mr Donohue said.
