Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
If most of my leadership lessons come from a lifetime Disney career, the silver medal goes to nature.
In Nature what has worked, and why it has evolved and continues to work, is a masterclass in mastering life’s basics.

Every organization has five foundational pillars.
Each pillar has several architectural blueprints, totaling 19 between the five pillars.
Leadership is the first pillar and vision is the first architectural blueprint.
It’s a lot easier to lead and a lot easier for people to follow when everyone is clear about why you exist, where you’re going, and why that’s important.
The thing with Nature is that it was here long before humans.
So long before humans it’s incomprehensible how long before.
Nature leads the way the cosmos sees fit.
i have a Nature theory from six decades studying it.
Nature takes care of itself.
In its own time.
In its own way.
Rejuvenation, adaptation, evolution.
This is how i know Periwinkle Island will flourish when the rains come.
There’s a catch though. i have to keep the ‘weeds’ (nature’s landscape shapers) from choking out the periwinkles. i’m actually trying to influence Nature so the Periwinkles choke out the ‘weeds’.
Note: Sanibel’s Periwinkle Way is prolifically lined with Palm trees and Periwinkle ‘weeds’, everywhere.

Ants are so much like human beings as to be an embarrassment. They form fungi, raise aphids as livestock, launch armies into war, use chemical sprays to alarm and confuse enemies, capture slaves, engage in child labor, exchange information ceaselessly. They do everything but watch television.

Human to human is no mystery.
Is it the unknown motives and behaviors of people that are new to us that leave us suspicious?
New employee. New leader. New initiative.
Change always has a motive.
It’s not knowing the “real” reason that frightens workers, and lowers their trust in management.
Maybe the workers have every right to be suspicious, like the native jungle inhabitant.

From the previous post’s insight on nature, this human incident is a reminder that before advances in civilization and healthcare, an injured creature has little hope for survival. Nature is brutal (and beautiful).
But humans have discovered means to advance (evolve) in ways we rarely see in other species.
Human intellect solves many challenges. It also creates many challenges.
Such is life. Such is nature.
