Leadership Involvement challenges

Disney road sign — Heading home after the U-Turn drop-off.

Recall a time when your commitment came easy in doing important work. What allowed that to happen?

Recall a time when you were on a team where it was easy for everyone to be committed. What allowed that to happen?

What are the similarities between your commitment and the team’s commitment?

Recall a time when you struggled to be committed. What held you back?

Recall a time when you were on a team that wasn’t committed. What held everyone back?

Now, think about your current commitment level. What’s to gain? What’s to lose?

What and how can you replicate what worked for you before? What and how can you replicate what worked as part of a committed team?

Back to your commitment and the power it holds…

Why is moving from fully compliant to fully committed a challenge? What if it wasn’t?

Do you believe there are scalable success factors that you can use to architect the desired commitment level?

Why or why not?

Life changing Disney Institute wisdom

quote — High School is deserted because of Spring Break. (Yikes, caught myself in the photo.)

Dear Son, we judge ourselves by our intentions, others judge us by our behaviors.

When i first heard this nugget, i immediately knew it would help mitigate my blind spots.

From this, i coined a phrase:

No one builds a reputation based on what they’re going to do.

Think about it.

The power of a clear, concise, and compelling vision

Disney Customer Service Conference Speakers — 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.
