Don’t make it too hard for your employees

Talented, hard-working crew removed dead palm and then an acre of chain link fence in the backyard.

 

Insight from 30 years inside Disney…

Don’t make it too hard for your employees.

The easier you make expected employee behaviors, the more likely they are to become organizational habit.

17 years of weekends and counting

This bead jar has been in front of me every day since August 2000. A remarkable payoff for a $10 investment and one hour of my time to drive to the craft store for a jar and a bag of beads.

 

Be careful that you are doing the wrong things well and with great velocity.

You may spend your entire life never knowing.

How wasteful would that be?

Your attitude about your boss and coworkers is predictable

Florida alligator in retention pond
Almost invisible, the 10-foot gator is even less perceptible when swimming. Train your eye and heart to see things you normally wouldn’t. If you’re not a Tom Brady fan what’s your honest answer for why? PS. Football is not even remotely important to me, but i respect long-term excellence.

 

Your attitude about your boss and coworkers is predictable, in my opinion.

Three days from now, the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles compete in Super Bowl 52.

If you plan to watch the Super Bowl hoping the Patriots and Tom Brady lose, your mindset is poisoned.

Rather than see a dominant team (or player) do something extraordinary, you are instead sending a message to yourself that greatness is bad, especially when it happens to others and not you.

This poisons your work ethic and severely limits your ability to excel at work.

Where is your shop?

Glacier National Park
Ever dream of being a National Park Ranger? Where? Did you want to retire from it?

 

Where is your shop?

Shop is metaphorical for work.

Every generation experiences a major disruption during their career.

Some form of technological advancement changes the way work (and life) gets done.

The current digital age isn’t disruptive to the generation growing up with it.

It’s disruptive to everyone else who’s become comfortable (and complacent) with the status quo.

Note to self – there is never a time when we can coast and expect to not get left behind.

At work.

At home.

A paradoxical approach to changing habitual cravings

 

A paradoxical approach to changing habitual cravings.

To say this nine-minute video has the DNA to change my life is the understatement of the new year.

You may feel the same way if you watch it.
