	Paul Pressler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paul Pressler is the CEO of Gap, Inc. Previously he served as president of the Disney Store side of The Walt Disney Company, president of Disneyland (before the theme park became part of the new Disneyland Resort) and then president of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, before leaving Disney in 2003.
		Pressler's success at The Disney Store lead company CEO Michael Eisner to appoint Pressler as president of the company's flagship theme park, Disneyland, and lead the team developing the theme park into a two-park, three-hotel resort.
		Pressler was very business-minded and put more emphasis on shops and dining than on the maintenance of the attractions, even to the point where he believed that eating and shopping was the only reason people came to Disneyland.

		That Paul Pressler is brilliant is unquestionable: an appealate judge, a CNP past-president, and the leader/strategist of the only successful conservative resurgence in the history of the Protestant church, everyone will allow that much.
		Pressler, like many Fundamentalists, fail to accept that much of our understanding of scripture and theological concepts are interpretations and very few of the arguments that he is willing to die for would effect salvific truth.
		Paul Pressler and Paige Patterson are the Annas and Caiphas of the twentieth century...they know scripture backwards and forwards, but they completely miss the message of love and grace and forgiveness preached by Jesus Himself.

		Paul Pressler was the architect of the fundamentalist takeover of the Southern Baptist Convention.
		Pressler: Adrian appointed a absolutely superb Committee on Committees and a absolutely superb Resolutions Committee and the other appointments he made were very good, but those were the two crucial committees.
		Pressler is very comfortable walking in Reconstructionist circles, but it would be more accurate to say that Pressler and Reconstructionists have been walking in the same circle -- Dominionism -- and that the circle has been heavily influenced by both of them.

	AL'S ARCHIVE - D-I-G Update
		Of course, the irony of hosting this "Farewell Pressler" event in a mothballed food court located in a deserted corner of the company's most struggling theme park was probably lost on many of those in attendance.
		Never mind that Paul Pressler was actually at the party himself, along with his wife and two children, party guests were invited to stand next to the cardboard Paul and have a "farewell photo" taken of themselves by two photographers with Polaroid cameras.
		And several different party guests surmised that this was the beginning of a campaign by Cynthia to ensure her contacts with Paul remain intact, just in case an opportunity for her comes up at The Gap in the near future.

		Cynthia ran defense for Paul and the others and took the blame for it all, famously telling Attractions managers in the fall of 1998 after the Park was forced by the bad PR to reverse the decision that she was "still working through my learning curve".
		Pressler was either told beforehand or found out after the presentation about Eisner's succession list, and as you can guess by what has already happened, he was not on it.
		Pressler had to have been keenly aware that Eisner was going to get some more heat about another executive leaving, and despite the many comments otherwise, went ahead with an accelerated exit.

	Keeping Gap on track / Company's new leader taking measure of consumers
		Pressler left Walt Disney Co.'s global theme parks and resorts division -- where his star was still bright -- to join Gap, where he replaced retailer Millard "Mickey" Drexler.
		Already, Pressler, 46, is known for something Drexler didn't talk too much about: systematic customer surveys, intensive demographics research, charts and graphs by which inventory and advertising decisions are starting to be made.
		Pressler ticks off evidence of his appetite for fact-gathering: Focus groups are attended by designers for the first time in Gap's history, Pressler said.

	SBC Changes
		In the late 1970s two men, Paige Patterson and Paul Pressler, devised a plan to takeover the Southern Baptist Convention and change its direction.
		Patterson and Pressler studied the SBC’s constitution and bylaws and discovered that the convention was ultimately controlled by the appointment powers of the president.
		Adrian Rogers (the first SBC president elected by the Patterson— Pressler coalition) said, “If we say pickles have souls, they (seminary professors) better teach that pickles have souls.” Seminary teachers who refused to comply were fired, sought employment elsewhere, or took early retirement.

		Now he is six months into his new job as CEO of Gap, and it's obvious that this is not a natural fit.
		Pressler is the first-ever outsider to run the world's largest specialty-apparel retailer (2002 revenues: $14.5 billion).
		Pressler has found it tough to shake the Disney-speak, early on referring to Gap's customers as "guests." And he still can't get the name of the company right: He calls it "the Gap," even though the old guard remind him the corporation is called "Gap."

	Pressler is Gone!
		Well, we can only hope that Pressler's absence will lead us to better grounds--we can only hope his successor (whoever he or she might be) is a lover of themeparks...
		Bad news for Disney fans is that Pressler's jumping ship is seen as bad because analysts love his cost cutting measures and blame the weak economy instead of failures like DCA for his problems.
		Pressler was hired by The Gap for precisely what he did at Disney: marketing a brand.

		Gap may have finally found the right fit.
		Since Pressler, a Disney theme-park alum and son of a retail man, was hired as CEO in September, Gap has reversed a 29-month same-store sales decline, and the stock has gone from $12 to $15.
		Look for Pressler, 46, to continue cranking out gains but not to crow about his early success (he's been accustomed to keeping a low profile since working in the shadow of Disney's Michael Eisner).
