.see .differently & .think .differently

During yesterday’s run.

Closer inspection.

Fascinating. Almost ran by without noticing.

The “great depression of 2008-09” created an opportunity to .see .differently and .think .differently

Without the exceptionally uncomfortable Disney layoffs, i wouldn’t have felt so vulnerable – vulnerable to the point of revelation.

The revelation was simple, always have a plan b.

Always.

The time to “worry” is when you don’t need to.

Without the pressure of “have to”, you can really see and think clearly and rationally.

You can also think and see in a way that excites and scares you like never before.

In my line of work, i seem to see a lot more than most

Not only 30 years at Disney, but 15 years inside roughly 2,000 other organizations, while teaching at Disney Institute.

A snippet from The House That Ogilvy Built:

Creating a First-class Business:
More than anything else, the glue that held together the organization as it grew around the world was training. Ogilvy used the metaphor of a teaching hospital. “Great hospitals do two things,” he said. “They look after patients, and they teach young doctors. Ogilvy & Mather does two things: We look after clients, and we teach young advertising people. Ogilvy & Mather is the teaching hospital of the advertising world. And as such, it is to be respected above all other agencies.”

Why “impossible” is your only real choice

Many leader’s think the real job is financial growth. Yes and, it is, and you can focus on profit as the goal or the reward.

The compelling reason for an impossible goal is because it solves for this question, “Why are we doing all this hard work?”

Email to CEO this morning…

(Regarding being inspiring) You gave yourself a 7-8 out of 10.

Are you capable, or do you desire, a 10?

The slide above appears within the first 90 mins of my two-day presentation…people tend to rally around something that “changes the world”.

Worth repeating:

The compelling reason for an impossible goal is because it solves for this question, “Why are we doing all this hard work?”

The Disney Touch – work

Last night while writing the Disney Leadership book.

The Disney Touch.

It ain’t the Magic that makes it work, it’s the work that makes it Magic.

Nothing changes if changes aren’t made.

How bad do you want it?

Simplicity is operational genius.

The basics: Employees, customers, finances.
