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.”

That said, my gift to the CEO is this:

Teach like you mean it.

Ready to walk away?

Told the CEO last Friday that i’ve grown weary in waiting because the waiting translates into a lack of commitment.

It’s been 19 months since we met.

If this is what it’s like when we don’t have a contract, what will it be like when (if) we do?

He’s overwhelmed.

Two CEO’s.

No one is immune.

Not even the people at the top.

CEO of You, Inc.

Does the sound of that inspire, overwhelm, or frighten you?

It may do all three.

In fact, if it doesn’t do all three, check for a pulse.

Here’s the secret though, inspiration is the name of the game. Being radically inspired must be paramount.

Period.

You own your destiny. You own your excuses, regrets, second chances and opportunities. And as CEO of You, Inc, you own your permission to go or not go.
