DREAM was a Cast Member idea.

DREAM = Disney Resort Experiences Are Magic.

Organizational culture is like personal health…it gets expensive to restore if you neglect it too long.

You know what the real challenge is?

We get so used to accepting that our organizational health is less than vibrant that we eventually stop being motivated to do anything to change it. And this gradually makes our culture more toxic.

Talented, hard-working crew removed dead palm and then an acre of chain link fence in the backyard.

 

Insight from 30 years inside Disney…

The easier you make expected employee behaviors, the more likely they are to become organizational habit.
