Bigger than the Beatles?

Will Lee Cockerell be bigger than the Beatles?

Do you know who Lee Cockerell is?   You surely know the Beatles.  If you don’t know Lee, you will.

Lee is a Leadership genius.  Seriously.  Lee was Disney’s Executive Vice President of Operations.  There are few jobs tougher than that one.  Lee led Disney brilliantly.

He retired recently and has published a book that is going to help any leader, in any organization, at any level.  It’s entitled, “Creating Magic: 10 Common Sense Leadership Strategies From A Life At Disney“.

By now, you know you can trust me to tell you the real deal.   If I were you, and didn’t have Lee’s book, I would challenge myself to buy it within 24 hours.

It’s your choice and your future.  It always will be.  I’ll bet many of your competitors have already read this book.

PS.  Lee’s blog said “Creating Magic” has been released in France.  I have a copy in Japanese.  It’s going global.

The one thing your competition may not have done yet?  Execute any of Lee’s common sense strategies and tactics. Carpe diem, jungle jeff  🙂

Are you by design or by default?

Is your corporate culture “By Design” or “By Default“?

Do you even know what I’m taking about?

Is your personal culture “By Design” or “By Default“?

Or, does your culture “just sort of happen”?

I’d bet a majority of you still don’t know what I’m talking about.  That’s ok.  No worries.  Hakuna matata.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

Make your day purposeful, by design.  If you don’t, who will?  Carpe diem, jungle jeff  🙂

Wisdom

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.
