Leadership excellence resource

Could you use a world-class Disney Leadership Excellence resource this year?

What could they help you with?

Vision, Involvement, Accountability, Commitment.

What’s your vision? Does it sound clear, concise, and compelling? What’s to gain if it does? What’s lost if it doesn’t? Have you done the math on how long knowing it lasts and how long not knowing it lasts?

Do your direct reports have a clear, concise, and compelling vision for the perfect employee experience, perfect customer experience, and perfect business performance?

What’s the difference between leadership training and leadership development? Who’s driving training? Who’s driving development? Do you really understand the significant, transformational difference between training and development?

Post it note activity. Ask me how it works.

What is the three-legged stool? Hint, if you need one, it’s also called a balanced scorecard. How is it used to drive accountability for organizational excellence? Do you do this by design, or not at all? Who drives it if you are doing it by design? What happens if no one drives it?

How do you and your organization measure leadership (and employee) commitment? How much of your job is a get-to-do? How much is a have-to-do? Would you wish your job on your dearest loved one?
