Ever heard that phrase, the one that an angry, frustrated adult might say to a young child, “Because I said so?”
Most of us have heard it. Most of us have also said it. “Because I said so!”
I know when I hear an adult saying this to a child, there is absolutely no mistaking who’s in charge, is there?
It’s crystal clear, isn’t it?
Why? Not really sure. It just is. Period. End of story.
Same with the Walt Disney Company.
Why do they focus on, and some might even say obsess over, the small details that most people will never notice?
Because Walt said so!
That’s good enough for me. I’ve heard enough stories about what their founder valued that it’s crystal clear to me what I should do everyday.
How is it with you and your people, in your organization?
Most people haven’t got time, or motivation, to think about simple questions like this.
And people wonder why it’s so challenging to get people motivated to do a great (not good) job.
I’m certain, today, that being a great organization starts with me.
What are you certain about?
Please consider making it a GREAT day, because if you don’t, who will? Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂
