If Leadership, Disney Style, doesn’t make perfect sense, nothing i say will matter

If Leadership, Disney Style, doesn’t make perfect sense, nothing i say will matter

When you believe in something all the way, no convincing is necessary. When you don’t, no amount of convincing will be enough.

If what Disney Leaders do, how they do it, and why they do it doesn’t make perfect sense, no amount of my content will ever be enough to convince you.

The good news?

It’s not worth it for either of us to convince the other of anything different.

There’s irrefutable evidence in the form of historical Customer and Employee loyalty that needs no defense.

That said, may you and your business endeavors bring you the personal vibrancy and organizational vibrancy every great leader dreams of.

Ps. In the off chance, you’re feeling compelled to take a risk, the worst that will happen is you’ll have lost an hour of your life to “what might have been.”

An hour.

Two 30-minute “Big Bang Theory” reruns. Almost makes the chance seem worth it, no?

The Why of Disney Leadership

Why does Disney focus on developing great leaders?

Here’s how easy the answer is; if you could only pick one of these two, which would you pick?

  1. A team of good and very good leaders.
  2. A team of excellent leaders.

Sometimes, the answer is that obvious.

Disney Leadership Beliefs

Disney Leadership Beliefs

Leadership is the silver bullet.

Great leaders get great (financial) results.

Good leaders get good (financial) results.

The difference between good and great is exponential.

The real job of leadership is inspiration.

People are inspired when they are learning and growing.

The way to inspire people is to develop them.

Training and development are not the same things.
