What’s the highest form of lifetime recognition our organization celebrates?

Talking Point, one of many official Disney blogs, shares what one of the world’s most respected companies does and how it benefits the organization, employee, customer, and bottom-line.

Stunned.

Being a leader is such a huge privilege to serve

Being a leader is such a huge privilege to serve.

Yet often it’s seen as a way to make more money.

Pity.

Leadership is art. So is making money.

Be an artist, not a wealthy, lost soul, finding little joy in the journey.

As a leader, when we’re gone, will our team be able to do an excellent impression of us?

It generally sounds sarcastic to think a team could love their leader so much that her legacy would be one to emulate.

But isn’t that the goal of the parent?

To be the example and not the warning?

The inherent challenge with drifting off the beaten leadership path is unproven ideas scare us.

What if we react in a way our teammates (friends and Family too) don’t expect?

Our desire to fit in trumps our curiosity. So we stop (even though we hate that about ourselves).

For some that fear is less than the fear of not living fully alive.

And so, I continue to write five daily, different blogs about work life balance.

What is it that changes inside us when we no longer seek permission nor acceptance? When we’re ready to make a new set of rules?

Everything?

Yes!

Great leaders ask scary questions because no one else will do this one thing

Great leaders ask scary questions because no one else will do this one thing.

No one else will ask the same scary question(s) over, and over, and over.

And over.

Why?

Because it’s human nature to think about scary questions… but only once.

And never formulate a transformational answer worthy of changing us.

Why?

Because that’s the status quo of the industrial age’s pinnacle command – do what you’re told.
