When it comes to employee culture, do your competitors see you as the consummate example or as a glaring warning?
Jeff’s employee engagement architecture provides the transformational template for organizational (and personal) vibrancy.
Every employee, at every level, in every company will walk away equipped with catalytic employee engagement DNA to solve their unsolvables.

Great Employee Engagement Categorically Changes Everything
Do you want to lead the category or do you want to become the category?
After you read the next sentence, ask yourself what your organization (or you if you can’t influence an entire company) would have to do differently to have your customers and employees feeling it, talking about it, and loving it?
Be the category.
Imagine being a category of one.
No one else does what you do in the way you do it and your employees (and customers) love you for it.
Great employee engagement categorically changes everything.
Yes or no?
Please remember we aren’t talking about good and very good leadership. At Disney we have a saying, “Good and very good aren’t good enough.”
Be the category.

Notice Disney’s Casting Center Door knobs on the right.
Engage Like You Mean It
If you were accused of creating a highly engaged employee workforce, would there be enough evidence to convict you?
When i say engage like you mean it, i mean, and sorry if this feels uncomfortable, does the level of engagement rise when you show up? Does it remain high when you’re not there?
What if it did on both accounts?
Here’s the harsh reality, it’s not the Disney Magic that makes it work, it’s the hard work that makes it Magic.
Nothing substitutes for focus, discipline, and a clear, concise, and compelling vision.
