0839 ET - Disney's board is focused on making the transition to new chief executive Josh D'Amaro smooth and drama-free. Outgoing CEO Bob Iger has postponed his retirement multiple times and was involved in a corporate coup in 2022 that resulted in him returning to the company's helm after stepping down. This time around, the board is trying to avoid major exits and brain drain following the announcement of its new chief executive, WSJ reported, citing people familiar. The board has aimed to be both thorough and quiet during its selection process in the hopes that people will feel confident about the decision it landed on. (katherine.hamilton@wsj.com)
