This is exactly what busting an industry stereotype looks like

This is exactly what busting an industry stereotype looks like…

 

 

Sure, Delta Airlines has been breaking the mold for years with their humorous safety videos. Qantas is doing the same thing, but without the humor. Instead, they connect from a different angle, using a deep emotional connection. They are banking on a different human motivation to ensure their passengers watch.

When you have high, Disney-like standards

When you have high, Disney-like standards, it’s easy to be let down.

Is three weeks an acceptable standard to wait to hear back from a Speakers Bureau?

The ball is in his court. Garnering a 25% commission, it’s fair to expect to have a much higher standard for effective communication.

Poor performers are generally given an opportunity to change, and if they don’t, help them find their happiness elsewhere.

i hate to let someone go.

What we accept by default become or standard.

Yeah, leadership can be unpleasant at times.

The less we have to worry about, the more we can worry about

Depositing business check at bank.
UPS delivered as promised by 10:30am yesterday.

 

i dislike talking about money. i dislike worrying about it too.

The check arrived from Canada, as promised, in advance of the keynote speech.

Without worrying about getting paid in a timely manner, i can “worry” (concentrate) on being the highlight of the customer service conference.

Great Disney leaders are never satisfied

Mobile apps
It’s easy to read on a mobile device.

 

You know that feeling when you discover (what you thought was) your best work really isn’t?

Have a handful of potential clients that are at various stages of engagement. As i re-read the jeffnoel.com landing pages, something happened yesterday.

i became disenchanted.

While it is decently written and flows logically, it’s too long.

The reality is executives need clear, concise, and compelling.

Back to the drawing board.

Walt Disney World 30 year s of service pin

 

 

(photo: Today, September 27, 2014  marks 30 official years of service… a top ten most admired company in the world… this was the plan way back as a 25-year old ‘kid’)

The screen saver on the company issued iPhone 4s is a photo of his name tag and business card.

Why?

Because the phone requires a password after one minute.

No one would be able to access the phone’s contents to determine how to get it back to the owner it it was lost.

But the screen saver contains his land line phone number, address, and email, and also identifies the owner’s integrity and reputation.

If the screen saver was a Disney character or Family member photo, or a nature scene… the odds of reuniting the owner are drastically reduced.

Every Most business professional know this. Yet do nothing different.
