Disney’s Mistake: Jeffrey Triumphed
When the business world witnesses the collapse of old empires, legends are born. The story of Jeffrey Katzenberg is a vivid example of how his dismissal from Disney in 1994 became the starting point for building his own empire. The very top producer who was rejected for asking for a well-deserved bonus found solace in collaborating with Spielberg and founded DreamWorks, which in 2001 gifted the world “Shrek.” Rumor has it that even Lord Farquaad’s face resembles that of the boss who fired him. And in 2016, DreamWorks was sold for $3.8 billion, making Jeffrey a billionaire, while by 2025, Disney’s stock had plummeted by 40%. From the ashes of dismissal to the heights of success.
Being fired was not the end for Jeffrey but a catalyst. His story is like an explosive reaction in the business world: an underestimated individual doesn’t disappear but builds his own path, using the mistakes of opponents as fuel for his rise. This lesson is relevant to anyone who has ever felt wronged or rejected.
