If Disney ran your spiritual core

Cinderella Castle at dawn
Inspiring view.

 

If Disney ran your spiritual core, we’d ask four simple questions:

  1. Is every employee crystal clear on the most important goal in every interaction?
  2. Do you know your customers (and employees) from a holistic, 360 degree perspective?
  3. What is the one unifying goal every employee shares?
  4. What are your operational priorities for making decisions at every level?

There are many more questions but these are the baseline starting points.

Unscripted and unexpected is a subconscious habit at Disney

They truly live to serve others.

Disney Cast Members are simply the very best customer service advocates in the world. The only request yesterday was for a simple, “Happy birthday, Donna” when we arrived.

It started there, but didn’t end there.

The three Disney Cast Members added (on their own) a very enthusiastic, and coordinated birthday welcome.

And while i was distracted by running into (and chatting with) two colleagues from Resort Operations days, the three also surprised Donna with a phone call from Goofy, who wished Donna a happy birthday too.

Unscripted and unexpected equals surprised and delighted.

And while intended for Donna, the ripple effect impacted at least 10 people vicariously.
