i keep telling myself to think like these four people

Disney's Jungle Cruise
My very first role at Walt Disney World was as ‘jungle jeff’ in 1982.

 

i keep telling myself to think like these four people:

  1. Mother Teresa
  2. Walt Disney
  3. Jesus
  4. Steve Jobs

These are big shoes to fill.

What are the limits that i have?

Only those i convince myself of.

Right?

Yes.

But, but.

You don’t have to say a word, but know that i know you know this for yourself as well.

It’s downright frightening what our potential is.

Right?

Who is personal Facebook for?

Business meeting at Publix
A colleague and a close friend.

 

Personal Facebook was designed for close friends to stay connected. A brilliant way to maximize the potential of social media.

Unfortunately, humans, generally speaking, are needy people. Few people would turn down the opportunity to be popular and liked by lots of people.

This led to the Friending of more people than we can manage.

Over time, we also realize that no one really cares about our intimate details.

No one that is, except our friends.

We get friends and aquintences and colleagues mixed up, thinking it’s all the same.

Two days ago, i wrote this response to an email question about corporate priorities:

•  •  •  •  •

Without a common purpose, or unifying goal (as i call it), there’s no irrefutable, self-evident rallying point. This is the beacon for creating a culture by design.

Without being crystal clear on why you exist this powerful question, when addressing everything in your organization, is meaningless:

Does this allow us to better deliver our unifying goal?

For executives, profit is the unifying goal. No harm no foul right? But no one on the front line (onstage or backstage) gives a damn about that. Ignoring this fact does not make it false.

This is one of the early points in my leadership keynote speech.
