A comment on yesterday’s jungle jeff post started me thinking.
His question to me was, “No Pixie Dust”?
It was “missing” from my personal Leadership Top Ten List.
He made a good point and I thought for a moment, “How could I have forgotten Pixie Dust”?
Then, just as quickly, if not faster, the answer hit me.
Pixie Dust IS Passion. Period.
What’s Magic about the way Disney does things is their PASSION to:
Passion IS Pixie Dust.
Always was. Always will be. Thank you Walt Disney for your vision.
By the way, Vision and Passion are my respective number one & two top leadership values.
Guess what’s number three? Communication!
Looks like a coincidence, doesn’t it? The harder you work, the luckier you get.
Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂
PS. Does your own Vision send shivers down your spine?
PSS. What if it did? Can you comprehend that? I hope so. 🙂
Make Dramatic Leaps in Performance!
What do you do to make Dramatic leaps in Guest Service? Dramatic leaps in Financial Results? Dramatic leaps in Employee Satisfaction?
Please don’t get me wrong, small, daily, incremental improvements are the name of the game. Right? Well, almost.
We all focus on continuous improvement through daily efforts to make small improvements, that add up over time. Saving money. Losing weight. Writing a book. Developing a new relationship. Changing a habit. Creating a habit. These things don’t happen overnight. Do they?
The challenge and the opportunity for me? I’m on a mission to make a dramatic leap in my ability to deliver value to those I serve.
What do you think Walt Disney would have used the Internet for? What are you using it for?
What are you doing today, this week, this month, to make Dramatic Leaps in performance?
Daily improvements with the goal of Dramatic breakthroughs, is an integral part of every great company’s Culture.
Make today the day you get another step closer to your dramatic leap, because if you don’t, who will? Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂
What is wisdom and why is it so valuable?
Are you wise? Am I wise? How do any of us really know?
While I may or may not be wise, I do work very hard to take what I teach and use it personally. Why? Two reasons. To show how common sense ideas can be applied anywhere and because it actually makes my life better. Period.
Simple example, but I encourage you not to be tempted to dismiss it’s significance. I never capitalize my name. That’s a whole other story waiting to be told.
Back to the questions and the point.
What is wisdom? How about this thought:
“In the absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily acts of trivia.” — anonymous
WOW!
Seriously, wow!
A few weeks ago (here’s the link if you want instant access: www.junglejeff.net/?p=257 ), I wrote a post that contained the essence of this quote.
Do you know how long I lived my life strangely loyal to performing daily acts of trivia?
Wwwwaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy too long.
Now, not so much. Not perfect by any means. Never will be.
But!
But, I am more razor-focused on World-Class delivery and content than ever. Razor-focused.
I often wonder what took me so long to figure out the difference in results, when I’m razor-focused, compared to when I was loyal to performing daily acts of trivia.
Make it a GREAT, razor-focused day, because if you don’t, who will. Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂
PS. Tomorrow, the story of no caps. Maybe.
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 🙂
