Letter to the Chief

Vision is the first of my 19 business cultural blueprints.

Thanks for sharing. Hope your head is pain free.

How intentional do you think it is that Vision is the first of my 19 organizational vibrancy architectural blueprints? (Yes, it’s a trick question) 😜

Simon does a great job reframing what many miss as key because the concept of vision is too familiar and too simple.

(A vision of the future that’s not only better than now, but much better.)

As simple a concept as vision is, remember how you struggled with vision in the early days?

Your greatest opportunity is breathing life into your organization’s.

Why communicating this in a clear, concise, and compelling manner doesn’t come naturally to you is still a mystery.

Do you remember those 15 minutes with your Executive Team that morning at the retreat? That was the most powerful/inspiring message you ever gave them.

You are so capable.

When you slow down long enough, you’ll see in yourself what i see in you.

Greatness.

PS. To be clear, Glacier would have revealed this.

PSS. When you are ready to see cultural transformation version 2.0 as an investment instead of an expense, organizational vibrancy will become your (Organization’s) greatest asset. Can you see it?

Initiative is gold

jeff noel Disney Speaker
A moment in time, capturing a marketing video location – Wild Goose Island on St Mary Lake. i’ve been sitting on a bunch of marketing videos. Why? Fear?

Initiative is gold.

Initiative is rare.

Initiative is one of life’s best teachers.

Initiative is scary.

So is regret.

Stop waiting.

Go.

Just go.

Everyone will be a fan or a critic

Watched this world record video last night and grabbed a screen shot. Team USA’s 3rd leg fell before handing baton to anchor Walter Dix.

Everyone will be a fan or a critic.

The critics to listen to are the ones who are your fans.

Ignore the haters and trolls.

You critical fans, if you listen and ask questions (critical step), will help you.

What is your attitude about excellence?

Three common sense leadership tactics to use with underperforming employees.

What is your attitude about excellence?

As a leader, everything is your fault. Great leaders accept responsibility. Then they collaborate with their team to fix things.

And when things are amazing, great leaders shun the spotlight.

An article on Walt Disney’s thoughts on courage and leadership is here.

Son, become a student of leadership. Start with personal leadership. Start with these blogs. Balance is not a myth. Mind, body, spirit, work, home.

Improve one, the other four benefit. Neglect one, the other four suffer. Now do the math on improving two. Now the math on neglecting two.

i can’t make it simpler than this.

You are so far ahead of most 18 year olds. Do not shy from this advantage. And take on additional responsibility for helping your classmates who are willing to listen. To teach is to learn twice.

Wearing a hat is a pseudo​​ alcohol buzz

Disney World High School Marching Band
Disney World High School Marching Band, the difference a hat can make on the way people look, and even more importantly, the way they act.

Wearing a hat is a pseudo alcohol buzz.

Don a hat and we immediately feel more courage, more confidence, more bravado.

Why?

Maybe because…

Hats are often worn as part of an accomplishment: a team, an affiliation, a milestone – a proposed statement of proof that effort and dues have been paid, and that the hat stands for something important.

And sometimes, simply earning the right to go on vacation and celebrate by wearing a hat can signal proof we’ve earned something.

Put on a Disney Goofy Hat and see what permissions you immediately feel – silliness, fun, unconventional, etc.
