Different angle. Molly and Gene in the distance. We met them at Sperry Chalet, and hiked with them three times.

Zero-theory career theory

note on a post-it note
Most leaders are clueless. This is the Disney DNA that crazy, driven, passionate leaders need. You cannot create a Disney-like karma culture unless you are all-in on over-focusing.

Zero-theory career theory.

Your career can be summarized this way…

Pick one, a pencil or a broom.

You will either work using your brain or your body.

Additionally, you need to pick owner or employee.

You will either work for yourself or for someone else.

There is no perfect answer.

But you are, in fact, going to have to (or get to) live with whatever you decide.

Controlling time

Do you have time to pick wildflowers for a special someone, or must you order them to be delivered because of your busy schedule?

What percentage of your time do you control?

Same question, different focus…

What percentage of your time do you not control?

Your two answers will equal 100%.

Leadership

Pixar puzzle framed
Have you ever been put down and mocked because of where you worked? If yes, was it from people you trusted? If yes, what did you do?

Never make a statement you can’t defend in a room with any number of level-headed leaders.

One big, deep, nagging concern

Boba Fett Disney+ chapter list
Chapter 5 will be fun to watch tonight. Probably peacefully. Yet imagine living next to a Church that regularly hosts outdoor concerts. And the stage and speakers are pointed at your living room.

Huge opportunity regarding Lakeside Church operations.

It’s raining.

And cold.

Without the rain the plan is to meet Chuck at Church, drive to my home, and walk a mile back to Chuck’s car.

Two umbrellas will allow this to happen even in the rain.

Want to bless Chuck with an opportunity to experience how far away i am and still hear the Church business inside our home.

Over the years, the noise volume has grown louder, happens more frequently, and event durations last longer. As the Church grows, so too will these business outputs.

Any residential neighbor producing similar noise levels would immediately be asked to turn the noise down dramatically. Which begs the question then…

Is it true that no one is above the law?

Asked Chuck for a hug. We reassured each other that neither is angry. Reminded Chuck i’m here to help be part of the solution, offering my business insights and advisory experience.

Chuck made it crystal clear his mission is greater than any residential subdivision’s mission. And that he will do what he is legally able to do to get there.

He believes he is lawfully complying within his permitted codes.

The obvious challenge is without a shared public document in both our hands, neither of us knows the letter of the Church’s code requirements.

i wish us both nothing but the best intentions, the best outcomes, and a future so bright, we gotta wear shades.
