Detouring to wonder why

To wonder why?

Detour.

A different route to get somewhere; usually unplanned, unexpected, often scary and inconvenient.

What if we detoured in our journey to understand, and practice, the world-class, Disney Leadership Excellence key drivers required to become and stay an excellent leader?

The “what if” usually has an ending sounding like this, “I’ll never know?”

Why?

Because it’s safer, more convenient, and easier to manage the unexpected and unplanned if we just get back to the job at hand, which is to maintain the operation we lead.

It’s Not The Leadership Magic That Makes It Work

It’s Not The Leadership Magic That Makes It Work

It’s the hard Disney Leadership work that makes it Magic.

It comes down to being focused and disciplined.

  1. Focused on the basics.
  2. Disciplined to never take our focus off the basics.

Seems ridiculously simple right?

It is.

Remember, though; simple doesn’t mean easy.

If focus and discipline were easy, we’d all be amazing leaders.

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?
