Generate Ideas

You can only pick a new idea or solution from what’s generated. Quantity over quality. Never evaluate in the generation stage. Think outside the box in this phase.

Select Ideas

It’s critical to think inside the box during this phase. Define your box using vision, mission, brand, and customer as the four sides.

Implement Ideas

Establish a corporately approved continuous improvement process. Ensure it becomes a way of life.

Leader’s Role

Every leader is an environmentalist. Whatever happens or doesn’t happen is the leader’s fault. Every leader’s job is to create a collaborative culture where ideas have no choice but to flourish.

How i spend my whole day

Disney leadership author jeff noel — Two days ago, writing while riding the Walt Disney World Railroad train (Roger Broggie).

i spend my whole day helping people see things and think about things they wouldn’t normally see or think about.

Do you know what happens when people see things they didn’t see and think about things didn’t think about?

It finally gives them the answers they need to change things.

Ten left

Living like you were dying — Yesterday from a High School classmate’s Facebook feed.

In 2009, i began a 10-year journey to live as though June 8, 2019 (60th bday) is my last day.

i read about half of a long article yesterday. Here is my summary:

Rather than contemplating the stereotypical “What if you only had 6 months to live”, or the article’s reflection on a 9-month course with the same question, but with 3 extra months, i began over 7 years ago living as if i only had 10 years.

A complete and radical departure from “you have less than a year to live.”

Ten left.

What if you only had 10 years left?

A decade.

Everything i’ve done since 2009 has emanated from, “What if i only had until my 60th birthday to do everything in life i wanted to do?

The caveat being, none of us know if we’ll see tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, etc.

Now, with 2 years 8 months until the “dead” line, an enhanced sense of urgency is emerging.

There is potential ridicule and talk behind my back, to which i am working diligently to surrender to and designate a non-issue.

Meanwhile, my enjoyment of that which is in front of me this very moment (typing this for example) brings such great joy, and peace.

What he learned, did and taught from 30 years at Disney

Disney's Boardwalk Resort — Yesterday’s first Disney Leadership book writing location.

Disney World Pet Kennel — The “Disney Kennel” was writing location number two.

Port Orleans Riverside was writing location number three.

What he learned, did, and taught from 30 years at Disney.

And by he, i mean me.

Imagine having someone like that as a resource.

Game.

Changing.

Seriously.

Are you an artist?

Some of us have a quick, definitive answer.

Others aren’t sure. Here are the simple criteria to tell.

An artist does one (or both) of these things:

Does the same thing others do, but better.
Does the same thing others do, but differently.

Artists do it better or differently (and in rare cases, both).

Most of us will never be “better.”

Yet there is absolutely nothing stopping any of us from being different.

Nothing.

Nothing except doubt and fear.

Doing it differently is not the same as being better. Differently is wide open. There are no rules, no boundaries.

It can be as laser-focused as this – we can become an artist simply by the (different) way we slay doubt and fear.

It can be as simple as writing five blogs a day instead of one.
