It’s not the Magic that makes it work, it’s the work that makes it Magic.
Mary Flynn (my Disney Institute colleague and former Hallmark Greeting Cards writer)
It is a blessing to have started at Disney Institute (DI) in 1999 after 15 years serving in Disney front-line leadership operations.
Why?
First, i was at Walt Disney World (WDW) (hired 1982) before the “Disney Decade” (1990-2000) and lived through WDW’s exponential, and transformational, growth.
Second, i joined a boutique, small (10 facilitators and one ops manager/leader), unknown group of DI business leaders who’s sole responsibility was (still is) to share the ‘Business behind the Magic‘ to ‘outsiders’.
Finally, a couple years after joining DI, DI went on a growth trajectory that gave me a Disney and leadership education like no other. Someday, there may be a Disney Business Books series inspired from this Disney education.
