What this Disney Leadership book is not:

Not for everybody.

Not full of Disney trivia.

Not an ounce of theory.

Not eloquently written.

Not long and drawn out.

Not a one-size-fits-all recipe for success.

Not a leadership step-by-step how-to guide.

Not a guarantee.

Summary:

This Disney leadership book is not for everyone.

Tradition and convention have their place, however, it is not here.

Leadership opportunity:

The fact that something might not work is a leading indicator that it’s worth pursuing – breakthroughs only become a thing when a transformation occurs.

Before we begin, are you satisfied with your leadership?

We create happiness.

Before we begin, let’s ask, “Are you satisfied with your Leadership Excellence?”

And by the way, you have anonymity, right now, with your answer – so relax, be real, and lean into discomfort just enough for your truth to be set free.

So let’s ask again…

Take a deep breath…

Exhale.

Another slow, deep breath as you hear this again…

Are you satisfied?

You.

Your leadership excellence reputation and your results.

Are you satisfied?

Your answer?

Anyone’s answer?

An educated guess says our answers match.

That’s why you’re reading this book and that’s why this Disney Leadership Excellence book needed to be written.

Summary:

Everyone wants to improve.

There are exceptions to every rule, but there aren’t many.

We are not the exceptions.

Opportunity:

Dissatisfaction can and should be used as a tactic (tool) to gain a competitive advantage.

How will you feel when you pick one of only three choices?

Worth it to pursue world-class Leadership Excellence?

How will you feel if you try yet fail?

How will you feel if you never try?

How will you feel if you try and succeed?

The math says we have to try in order to succeed. But nothing is guaranteed. So the math also says trying inherently comes with the probability of failing.

Without the comfort of living with failure, success will never be ours.
