This Golds Gym visitor’s t-shirt caught my eye a few days ago. Asked to photograph it. A different version could be an icon for my website.

Six benefits for listening to a Disney Leadership expert

  1. Align your leadership values with your vision
  2. Create a leadership culture by design
  3. Become the category rather than striving to be the best your category
  4. Consistent, long-term growth designed to clearly outdistance your competition
  5. Harness the staggering creative talent within your team
  6. Create a culture every employee believes is worth defending

Or, you could hire someone else. There is no shortage of leadership advice.

Great service is driven by a clear, concise, and compelling purpose

A values-based organizational culture is always, literally without exception, going to outperform a latently-focused organization.

Humans want to be part of something bigger than themselves.

Failing to tap into that is the result of distracted, unfocused leadership – these leaders have created a culture by default that revolves around a constant sense of urgency…an urgency resulting from poorly executed priorities.

Leaders outspokenly focused on revenue, cost containment, and profit will never earn the commitment of those on their team who are not financially incentivized, which is the majority of all front-line employees.

To be on the short list of trusted leaders beats being nothing but a hound dog.

But all i have to do is remember i too spent a lifetime at Disney.

Critical to being a great leader is to be crystal clear and use simple, key, repeatable messages.

The world is crazy and we are busy enough with everything we are supposed to pay attention to.

Therefore, make the most important things habit.

Engrained.

Automatic.

Habit.

Non-negotiable.

Something worth defending.
