Disney Institute Employee Engagement, work

Disneyland. Either side of 2014 i think. We celebrate a combined 66 years of Disney Cast Member Service.

Corporate culture is a common way to describe what i call Organizational Vibrancy.

However, there is a caveat with Organizational Vibrancy.

The cultural bar is exponentially raised…

A good or very good corporate culture is not good enough to level up to Organizational Vibrancy.

Vibrancy is when every organizational bar is raised to the highest level.

Hello personal leadership

Went with Sandro and Tracy. While enjoying dinner at their house last night, and while we enjoyed dessert, we reserved these tickets.

Planned ‘hellos’ are the opportunity of your lifetime.

  1. New dreams.
  2. Old dreams.

Artful possibilities

Artful possibilities?

How?

Build with questions, common sense, and paradox.

Why?

To figure out what your “get-to-do” at work is.

Art is getting to do more than you have to do.

Big decisions, work

Making that 2008 command decision to retire in 2014 was semi-easy.

The motivation was compelling. Do not squander your son’s final four high school years by being a constant globe trotter for Disney Institute.

This looming decision to permanently quit working is familiar in its potential impact. The key word is ‘potential’. There are no guarantees with potential. Only possibilities, no guarantees.

Note: The original early-retirement catalyst was the 2008-09 USA Real Estate and Banking collapse. This led to Cast Member reductions (aka terminations). For the first time in my 25 years, the reality that no one is safe struck hard. Decided the over-focused thing would be to create a Plan B should the worst ever happen again.
