A decent metric

A decent metric once you identify a new goal:

Ask the start, stop, continue questions.

  1. What do i need to start. Why? What if i don’t start?
  2. What do i need to stop. Why? What if i don’t stop?
  3. What do i need to continue. Why? What if i don’t continue?

These questions aren’t a guarantee of success.

But these questions are a guarantee to provide for the simplest, best first steps forward.

The guarantee for success lies, for everyone, in our motivation to change.

Insight: Motivation is the key to discipline and focus.

Discipline and focus are the keys to vibrancy.

Why do you want to do this?

60-second video: Disney Keynote Speaker “sizzle” video:

Why do you want to do this?

You know why this is a critical question?

Because if you can’t fire up the leader of the other leaders, it’s over.

Hard stop.

Enthusiasm is the most contagious thing.

Second most contagious thing is the lack of enthusiasm.

Insight: You MUST have your act together. You MUST set the others on fire. And then they must set the rest of your organization on fire.

How did you not see that?

mobile view of webpage
How did you not see that? Immediately added an “a”.
list of 17 items
How do leaders not see these?

How did you not see that missing “a”, jeff?

Everyone else sees it the first time they see (read) it. i’ve read it dozens of times.

So me not seeing the missing “a” is remarkable because i’m the only one who doesn’t see it. Everyone else sees it. How can they not?

But i saw it yesterday. Finally.

Was prompted to re-read my junglejeff.com website copy after talking with a Disney leader yesterday.

Now let’s return to the other part of my thinking this through, after reading not only the page i added the “a” to, but one of the last pages on my JungleJeff.com website…

As i read the list of 17 (second photo above) it dawned on me immediately–no one is thinking about nor asking about these 17.

So most everyone* not seeing anything from the “list of 17” is remarkable because i’m literally the only one who sees it. Basing this assumption from extensive research (since joining Disney Institute in 1999) inside 2,000+ organizations.

*The know is to do. To know and not do is to not yet know. (final answer)

Make ‘em like you mean it

two retired disney leaders
Two retired Disney leaders. Lisa and jeff. We met at Disney’s Contemporary Resort Front Desk in 1985. Today’s photo is 2025. Lisa just retired after 46 years of Disney Service. She arrived late, after the Disney Leadership gathering thinned out. In fact, Cheryl and i left after this photo. i asked for her mobile because i don’t have it. Took this photo so i could text her my mobile.
man thinking introspectively
Can’t recall why i took this photo.

The beautiful reward that mistakes give us is a lesson we cannot get in any other way.
