Disney Institute Leadership Excellence, spirit

Team Disney Walt Disney World
Back when you could walk into the Team Disney building to visit the Company D store.

Disney Institute class…

Disney’s Approach to Leadership Excellence.

Thesis statement…

We judge ourselves on our intentions, others judge us on our behaviors.

We begin our content with a profoundly simple yet simply profound leadership catalyst…

Vision.

What’s the difference between a vision and a vision statement?

Answer: Your future.

Next, we dive into Involvement, Accountability, Commitment.

Context: Involvement is training and development. Two entirely different genres. Most people think “training and development” is a fancy phrase meaning one thing. It’s two words meaning entirely different things.

Nail it or fail it

Nail it or fail it.

Your obsession with envisioning a better future should give (you, and) everyone goosebumps.

Why?

You tell me why.

Ps. Nothing extraordinary is built without goosebumps.

Serve yourself first

This has always been the case. Fascinating how true it is.

Who should you serve first?

Not a trick question.

You know the answer.

But you’re embarrassed by your answer.

Get over it.

Serve yourself first.

Why?

Why what?

Why serve yourself first?

Leadership is the catalyst

Lead yourself.

Lead others.

Great leaders use this 4-point architecture to lead themselves and others:

  • Vision
  • Development
  • Accountability
  • Commitment

Great leaders are the catalyst for the excellent culture you need to win the future.

Build it.

Maintain it.

Improve it.

Master it.
