Disney Brand Loyalty Book

The clearer you are the better your results

We filled the seats (300-400 each time) twice a day for two consecutive days, two to three times a year.

The clearer you are the better your results.

We assume if we cover the stuff in orientation that it will stick.

How’s that working out for you?

We remind the team in our annual company meeting and assume it will help.

How’s that working out.

All day.

Everyday.

All three shifts.

Every employee.

Imagine if you could instantaneously say in priority order, “Here are our top three priorities.”

Can you imagine this?

To get there you need to be…

Driven.

Focused.

Relentless.

Nothing disconnects a willing employee faster (and longer) than holding them accountable for something they didn’t realize was more important than what they thought you meant was most important.

Nothing sabotages world class customer service faster than a disengaged employee who thinks their leader is clueless.

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.

Great Disney leaders are visionary

Visionary leaders see the same things everyone else sees, but they intuitively see it differently.

Great Disney leaders are visionary.

They obsess about communicating a clear, concise, and compelling vision.

A picture of the future that’s better than now, much better.

For many, what the visionary leader sees clearly, others insist on it being an impossibility.

Driven.

Determined.

Inspiring.

Seeing what no one else sees and seeing more of it

There are countless distractions in a Cruise ship port, all of them intended to get you to impulse buy.

Walking past a bicycle like thousands do every day.

Walking past what everyone walks past but seeing something no one else sees.

And not only seeing what no one else sees, but seeing more of it than no one else sees.

Yesterday when we hid Janice’s birthday cake in the Senior Living Facility communal kitchen and my first thought was, “Look at all this table space. This would be a perfect place to lay out all seven story boards and get started.”

Disney really honed my thinking. i wasn’t thinking about the storyboards, but in seeing the large table space, i immediately remembered the opportunity and possibility.

Can’t turn it off.

It’s a blessing and a curse.

Six days away from launching the next big thing

Deeply indebted to my colleagues at Disney Institute. Here are some of them in 2009, in Chicago.

Six days away from launching the next big thing.

Back in the day, the thought of writing a single Disney book felt overwhelming.

But with…

Growth.

Confidence.

Purpose.

Now, the goal is seven Disney books.

Wait until you hear the timeline for this impossible goal.

Pretty scary.
