Am i intentional about hiring, training, inspiration, and support?
Do we promote 80% of our leaders from within?

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Few companies have the public’s trust like Disney.
You’re going to hire a leadership keynote speaker and you’re entertaining the idea of hiring someone from Disney.
Seems like a no-brainer. Disney. World-class reputation. Leadership drives it all.
Disney is number five on the 2016 Fortune list of most admired companies in the world.
Disney’s success is self-evident and irrefutable.
Right?
So first, if further explanation is necessary…
Disney’s success comes from over-focusing on the same things others under-focus on or ignore.
Need more?
Imagine the expertise from 30 years on the inside, working with everyone from the Chief of Staff to the Cleaning Staff.
The experience from speaking to over one-million people globally for 15 years at Disney Institute.
The depth and breadth from working with 2,000 organizations, in all industry sectors, also while at Disney institute.
What value is it to hire the highest rated, most requested speaker at Disney Institute (from 1999-2014)?
Imagine being able to hear a two-time Walt Disney Lifetime Achievement Award recipient speak simply and profoundly about how Disney architects it’s most important asset, the Disney Company culture.

This is just the first small step of many small steps.
Small steps add up. But not if the first step isn’t taken. Duh, right?
How to write a Disney Leadership book, step one.
Decide to write the book, then brainstorm ideas with a simple storyboard.

University of Iowa Healthcare Customer Service session. My colleague (on stage) and i team taught roughly 40 four-hour sessions over the course of four years.
The power of a clear, concise, and compelling vision eludes most because we default to avoiding simple ideas.
We believe simple can’t work because if it did, everyone would be doing it.
Right?
The simple difference between a vision statement and a vision makes all the difference.
In your next big meeting ask one simple question and listen carefully for the response, “What is our vision statement?”
(Crickets)
What should happen instantaneously is a simultaneous reciting of a clear, concise, and compelling statement that rolls off the tongues of everyone in the room, even the newest person.
PS. Disney’s vibrant employee culture is a direct result of great leadership.
And any department, office, division, or team that is struggling at Disney (or any company) is struggling because of the absence of great leadership.

To teach is to learn twice. i taught full time the second 15 years at Disney Institute.
Great Disney leaders are inspirational.
i know about this.
Intimately.
i worked, served, learned, and grew up there – 30 years worth.
Think about what lights your fire.
It sure as heck isn’t something that’s luke warm.
It has to be something powerful.
It’s something bigger than yourself.
It’s something impossible.
Something noble.
It’s something you are compelled to defend because it means that much to you to see it grow and prosper.
