Dad’s leadership architecture

GNP.

The basic principles that help a human being be productive and effective have not changed in 6000 years.

Hyrum Smith

The leadership architecture i learned, did, and taught at Disney for 30 years: vision, involvement, accountability, commitment.

The truth is hard until it isn’t

It’s 6am and after writing this email reply (below) for someone on the other side of our planet, it dawned on me that there is organic wisdom in here that is applicable outside of our (Amanda and me) conversation…

Here’s the email…

Thanks for your notes Amanda.

Yeah, we should do a WhatsApp call next week. Or Zoom. Or FaceTime.

Couple quick thoughts about how i’ve personally attacked the issues: The best resource, i believe, is observation – and avoiding comparison at all costs. Watch what people and companies do, never listen to what they say. Words are crafted by marketing, actions are crafted by culture.

Words are crafted by marketing. Actions are crafted by culture.

If you are willing to listen to If Disney Ran Your Life from the beginning, you will see how everything builds and how habits are the key. Especially habits in what we think and dream and do. Life is always happening…to you or for you…doesn’t matter…life is always happening…this is never gonna change…what and how you react now, and plan ahead for, are foundational for life – are you familiar with the story about Three Little Pigs?

The truth is hard until it isn’t.

Accept this reality, put structure and processes in place to become a great CEO of You, Inc, and soar with personal vibrancy.

Life is not a dress rehearsal. Live like you mean it.

A shared vision

performing a traceroute
Two nights ago, and an hour on the GoDaddy Tech support line, we did a Traceroute – IP Address related -and yesterday life in WordPress is back to normal. The web speed in WordPress felt like what a compound fracture must feel like in the wilderness.

A simple question, “What’s our vision?”, has the power to transform people, a department, an organization, an industry, the world.

What’s my vision with this Executive client?

A shared vision:

We work together to make our world a better place.

We work together in a rare, glorious, remarkable way that inspires great ideas and great people to do work that accomplishes great things, impossible things.

None of this will fly, however, if i want it more than you do.

The simple question is this, “Do you want it more than i do?”

Time is money

Disney plastic character toys
Traveling with Disney figurines is a habit.

You’re too busy to see your clock ticking by…yet i see it clear as day…

A year from now you’ll wish you had started today…

Cheryl and i have known each other 41 years, including 37 married years. Every team works hard to be effective and efficient – the simplest, truest bottomline in business.

  1. Is it effective?
  2. Is it efficient?

This is what we everyone wants.

Now…

Time is money.

Money spent can save time (money).

  • How’s your decision fatigue?
  • Why do you not stop working out?
  • What’s the point of investing money?
  • What do you gain by not committing?
  • What if every employee leveled up (and kept leveling up)?
  • What’s your template for scaling future businesses?
