By design. The Pixar movie characters from SOUL. As a bonus, Walt Disney World 50th anniversary pin. Why do this? To help me remember what year the photos were taken.

Disney Institute class…

Disney’s Approach to Employee Engagement.

(i taught it when it was called, Disney’s Approach to People Management. Note: The content hasn’t changed, just the name, for marketing reasons.)

Thesis statement…

Culture by design, not by default.

Every organization has a corporate culture. Few (almost none) are by design.

What are the most important questions I should be asking about culture and organizational vibrancy?

Ask better

Flipchart with notes about culture
Is this true? Why is it true? What will i do to use this to achieve vibrancy?

Ask better questions if you want vibrancy. Continue to ask questions if you want to maintain, improve, and enjoy vibrancy.

Is achieving vibrancy the goal or the starting line for a bigger goal?
