Have fun answering

disney speaker Jeff Noel sitting on a chair on a stage
Becoming a public speaker was scary enough. Becoming a storyteller, the scariest. Saying yes to continuously improving is the only way to slay your fears.

The value of the following yes-or-no questions is self-evident and irrefutable.

Have fun answering.

  1. i have read at least 24 business excellence books?
  2. i am the most passionate student of business excellence i know?
  3. i subscribe to, and read, at least two daily business excellence blogs?
  4. i have personally written extensively (10+ years) about the leadership chain of excellence ripple effect?
  5. i teach business excellence to others?
  6. i live and breath a balanced business excellence approach?

These questions are the ticket to the dance. They are in no way all-inclusive.

Slight wind can make ripples. Strong winds move ripples to waves.

Leadership, good, not so good, or great has corresponding cultural ripples.

When you understand that leaders impact the employee experience, and employees impact your customer experience, and customers impact your financial experience, and creativity is the DNA of every great company, you have learned to embrace the basics.

Cultural compound interest

Michael Eisner sitting in director's chair
Michael Eisner said in 1984, “The Disney Culture, and maintaining it, is my number one priority.”

Kodak had their chance too, but they held so tightly to film, they suffocated themselves.

How does this train of thought affect Disney?

Easy, we have learned to be intentional with harnessing the positive ripple effects created by synergy, cause and effect, and culture.

We over-focus on the same things others under-focus on or ignore. We see the power in being intentional versus being unintentional.
