Leadership accountability works best with perfect clarity

What the public focuses on – the 3-O’clock Parade.

 

Disney World peak attendance
What the organization focuses on – how to keep the Magic alive after the Parade is over.

 

What the Senior Executive saw as being rigid and inflexible, i saw as clarity.

Funny how the same thing can be seen paradoxically opposed.

One of the four world-class leadership basics is accountability.

Accountability works best with perfect clarity.

Less than perfect clarity brings less than perfect results.

Either way, a culture is established and practiced daily based on the way expectations are determined, communicated, and enforced.

One of our best teachers rarely gets asked for help

The only way to learn from mistakes (one of our best teachers) is to make them.

The more you make, the more you learn.

Freedom and joy lies on the other side of decisiveness

plugin minimalist
Today. Had only three plugins to start with. Also deactivated the Genesis Theme and Child Theme on all 5 blogs.

 

plugin minimalist
Today. All-In-One-SEO-Pack has 30 million downloads. i trust it to be around for a long time.

 

This is a boring post (as are many) if you aren’t able to read between the lines and understand the unspoken insights embedded in my writing style.

The decision to delete all but one WordPress plugin was finalized while i’ve been writing – this Saturday morning, December 10, 2016.

Also removed commenting on posts. Why? i’m reachable other public ways and reply within 24 hours.

Between texts, emails, phone calls, and meetings, i do not need other additional platforms to check.

By the way, plugins are the easiest route in for hackers to attack your website. Comments and social proof isn’t worth it to me. If i know you, you know you have easy access to me, but not on my blogs.

Seems fair.

Why?

Because i decided it’s fair.

That decision is good enough.

Burn the ships is a real thing in my world

Disney Customer Service author jeff noel
Day 88 of 365. Exciting stuff is happening. Seven Disney business books in one year. All written on an iPhone, all at Disney.

 

Burn the ships is a real thing in my world.

As my business grows, the initial criteria for who’s a right-fit client will be:

Are you willing to burn the ships?

Humbly walking away from those less courageous and less ready is exactly where i want to be.

Life is short.

My clock is ticking.

What’s inspiring you today?

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.

 

Invest time in earning repetitive attention or loyal business?

Best LinkedIn profile summary
Arguably the best LinkedIn profile summary i’ve ever seen, from yesterday.

 

Invest time in earning repetitive attention or loyal business?

Repetitive attention usually is from potential customers seeking “free”.

Loyal customers purchase from you and will purchase from you again, if you offer something remarkable in exchange for their money.

Yes, there’s a body of evidence saying you should give away your best stuff for free – to expose people to your work.

May i suggest inside-the-box-thinking is the key to understanding a compelling reason to .think .differently

i recently asked someone who touts listening to podcasts and believes i’m making a mistake by not having one.

So i asked him, “How much money have you spent on your favorite podcaster’s products?”

“None.”

i rest my case.
