The Nature of leadership

Apple Watch by Walgreens
Walked two-plus miles to Walgreens for something. Intentionally walked five more on the way home.

i rarely to see two this size in close proximity. They are in the three-to-four-foot range. Walked right by them, maybe 15 feet away.

If most of my leadership lessons come from a lifetime Disney career, the silver medal goes to nature.

In Nature what has worked, and why it has evolved and continues to work, is a masterclass in mastering life’s basics.

Time has a unique effect on perspective.

In this case, softness, mellowness, freedom.

It’s been a long time since the last time i sat at a Cafe four-top with colleagues from Disney Institute.

At least a decade.

We all realize we are on the downhill side of life’s bell-curve.

Freedom comes from graciously and wisely accepting this.

Die with everything, work

Die With Zero is a book i heard about 24 hours ago.

In summary it promotes spending all your money before you die.

Professional in my career, i relentlessly pursue ‘everything’.

Professionally dying with everything, to me, is to die with everything an artist hopes for: To be a trailblazer. To develop confidence, creativity, and contribution. And while working a lifetime, to have fun, feel joy, and provide inspiration.

Die with zero, work

Die With Zero is a book i heard about from a social media post while waking up this morning.

In summary it promotes dying rich with experiences, not rich with money.

To professionally (career) die with zero, to me, is to die with zero wishes to have had more passion and commitment at work.
