How well does your architecture serve you?

Just happened to notice a rocket launch a few minutes after it actually launched. Yesterday. Sitting at my desk.

Context: customer equals anyone that you serve, everyone in an organization serves others.

  1. Does your architecture help you deliver on what your customers want most?
  2. Does your architecture support your business strategy?
  3. Are workloads balanced among your leaders?
  4. Are employees getting the right amount of direction, not too much, not too little?
  5. Is there partnering and synergy across geographical and organizational boundaries?

i could go on, but these five define the point that there is much room for improvement.

Do not choke

Imagine what a 30-year Disney Operations insider knows about creativity and innovation. Priceless? Depends what you need to fix and improve.

World-class is highly desirable.

Of course, it is also expensive.

Investing time, money, and resources.

(It’s also expensive in lost opportunity costs, turnover, cultural weakness, ineffective leadership).

Not many naturally see world-class cultural architecture as an investment.

Some do.

Guess who they are.

The crazy ones. The misfits. The outliers. The ones who know there is no other choice.

So please do not choke when i give you the quote.

The true regret is waiting and doing nothing

Elton John died yesterday. We all die. We don’t all come alive.

The true regret is waiting and doing nothing.

Here’s to hoping Elton had no regrets.

Here’s to hoping we can feel the same when our time comes.

The secret to a great employee culture

How true could this really be?

Bold statement. What-chew-think?

 

After the Disney Employee Engagement Keynote speech, there was a video interview in a nearby Boardroom.

A question centering around what’s the secret to a great employee culture directed my answer in a unique way….

” Everyone knows the benefits of taking care of your personal health. Yet many of us struggle to be excellent at the basics for personal vibrancy. Organizational vibrancy – a great employee culture – is the same thing. We all know the benefits of doing the right things, the basics, and those who succeed are the ones who make the basics their top priority.”

Take your role of CEO (being the top dawg in your life) seriously – as if your life depends on it, because it does..

You are the CEO of You, Inc. Vision is your greatest asset.

You are the CEO of You, Inc. Motivation is your second greatest asset.

You should have one clear, concise, and compelling vision for your life.

From that one remarkable vision, you will have multiple visions tiering up to ensure your clear, concise, and compelling vision is realized.

  1. Have a clear, concise, and compelling vision for your lifelong attitude.
  2. Have a clear, concise, and compelling vision for your lifelong health.
  3. Have a clear, concise, and compelling vision for your lifelong spirit.
  4. Have a clear, concise, and compelling vision for your lifelong career.
  5. Have a clear, concise, and compelling vision for your lifelong dwelling.

Life’s five big choices.

Mind, body, spirit, work, home.

Personal vibrancy or struggle to survive.

In business it looks like this: Organizational vibrancy and a category of one, or struggling to keep up with the lead industry pack, and worst case, struggling to grow and prosper (surviving and avoiding bankruptcy).
