Cultural immunity
Tag: culture
Auto-pilot culture
Culture is what people think and do, without thinking. Just look at your own habits. Auto-pilot, right?

You control nothing
As an Executive Coach, my job is to teach Executives to fish.
A CEO literally controls nothing, but influences everything.
It’s the same for the parent of a teenager, you control nothing but you can influence everything.
Your example.
Your vision of the future.
The simplicity with which you live your life.
No one listens to what you say, they just watch what you do.

Organizational Spirit
From a lifetime at Disney, particularly the last 15 years at Disney Institute, i saw first hand from countless (about 2,000) looks inside industries and organizations, that an overwhelming majority are like a ship without a rudder.
No rudder.
No foundational, guiding organizational values.
Rarer still, i astonishingly discovered, are organizations where the values are actually defined, not simply implied.
ORCHIDB
- Openness
- Respect
- Courage
- Honesty
- Integrity
- Diversity
- Balance
Not until the early 1990’s did we actually have written down leadership values.
A list is a great start, but ineffective without agreed upon definitions.
We did that.
We defined all seven core Disney leadership values.
It changed everything.
For the first time, we all had clear organizational expectations around behaviors.
Behaviors, not human resources concepts or theories.
Perhaps sometime after the Disney Leadership Book is published i will be able to refer you to the page(s) where our ORCHIDB values are explained in detail.

Hidden message was unintentionally created
At 4:00 AM i emailed an executive client with the following message, along with the photo in this post…
Did you catch the hidden msg?
Clarity of purpose ranks (ties) with being born, and becoming a dad.
The integrity of this profound belief is innocently illustrated in a random text.
Vision/purpose is THE most important of 19 blueprints.
How you amplify this as CEO is how well it will be heard (and received) in the far corners of your organization’s culture.
Be amazed and be amazing. There is no try, only do.
