The secret shortcut to Employee Engagement

Okay, ready for this?

Disney’s secret employee engagement shortcut?

The long way is the shortcut.

Have said it before and will say it again, at Disney, it’s not the Magic that makes it work, it’s the work that makes it Magic.

Chances are you were amazing

Chances are you were amazing

In fact, bet a dollar (my top bet, and the only amount bet when i’m sure of winning) you were inspiring.

Remember what you did and how it felt afterward when you could smile and know you did what you thought you couldn’t?

There are certain truths that when we hear them, we easily nod in agreement.

How about this one…

When there’s something we are highly motivated to do or not do, we get it done.

While this book contains the world-class employee engagement basics, none of that timeless wisdom matters if you aren’t compelled to burn the ships.

Had a High School science teacher say, “Repetition is the mother of all learning.”

Burn the ships (BTS), or some other mantra that inspires you the way BTS inspires me – that’s what we need to tell ourselves over and over (and over).

One more thing, chances are you are still amazing.

Betting a dollar on that too.

What happens to employee engagement when there’s no urgency?

Disney employee culture author Jeff Noel writing at Disney Springs entrance
Smile, it’s a nice reflection on you. Especially when there are writing deadlines to be met.

What happens to employee engagement when there’s no urgency?

What happens to you when there’s no employee engagement urgency?

Recall what you accomplished when you had something super urgent?

Write it down now: What was it, why was it urgent, what was the outcome and why?

Trapped in our employee culture comfort?

The employee culture we could create will always be a barrier to what we are unwilling to give up.

The barriers revolve around the effort we will need to summon. This universally feels like too much energy, time, money, and discomfort.

So we don’t do anything.

Even when we choose not to decide, we still have made a choice.

What kind of organizational employee culture do you long to become?

What’s missing from making that happening?

What are you willing to change?
