Does the way we start our day have a direct impact on our ability to excel?
Duh.
Focus and discipline shape our attitude. We know this. But do we champion the cause?
Do we?
Honestly?
Do we overmanage daily details that others either undermanage or ignore?
Do we?
Are we being intentional where others are unintentional?
Are we?
The woman asked the recent retiree, “Are you allowed to talk about Disney?”
He replied, “Not going to be talking about Disney. Going to be talking about my career, and life. You know, lessons learned, wisdom gained, joyful and painful experiences, people, challenges, triumphs, etc. Coincidently, the past 30 years have been spent at Disney.”
Our ability to control our attitude is greater than anyone will ever be able to convince us.
It’s way greater than we have allowed ourselves to believe.
But here’s a little secret.
There is no secret sauce.
There is a sauce, but it ain’t a secret.
Worked at Disney for 30 years. Spent a lifetime learning from the best inside the Disney organization. Spent 15 years at Disney Institute teaching Disney’s business insights to global companies.
Disney’s secret sauce is simple and not a secret. It’s the relentless discipline to always focus on overmanaging things others undermanage or ignore.
Organizational vibrancy is the result of being intentional where others are unintentional.
The reality of our life is that most of us have settled. And we have settled for so long that our crazy, misfit, rebel spirit is afraid to ever come back to life.
If you’ve never been in an Apple Store or if it’s been a long time, it’s come a long, inspiring way. It’s a story that would be cool to mirror personally – the transformation, etc.
