The main reason organizations get and stay stuck

The reason organizations fail at their primary purpose (which is to deliver shareholder value by surprising and delighting their customers and employees), is because they fail to embrace what truly motivates and inspires their people.

Employees aren’t encouraged and motivated by rewards or reprimands.

Employees aren’t inspired by upward mobility and performance review ratings.

Employees, at their core, want meaning in their lives. They want to feel like a part of something bigger than themselves. Something they can rise up to.

They want a true sense of connection.

If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

And your people won’t reach high enough either.

It’s about being intentional where others are unintentional.

It’s literally impossible for a bug to escape a spider web’s grasp, but most bugs will die trying.

 

Is impossible critical to vibrancy?

The compelling reason for an impossible goal is because it solves for this question, “Why are we doing all this work?”

So yes, impossible is critical to vibrancy, personally and professionally.

Controversial Disney internal politics shared in this revealing Disney Magic Band story.

A health care executive asked me what i thought of the article.

My response?

These kinds of internal struggles happen in every organization and it is no different at Disney.

End of story.

The insight is that politics, notwithstanding, do not mean an organization can’t be vibrant.
