Average Creativity and Innovation is a crying shame isn’t it?

Buena Vista Construction sign — Heading home.

There’s no room for average creativity and innovation at Disney

None.

Zero.

It’s a crying shame, isn’t it?

Because you’ll never know.

Never know what might have been.

Never know how effective your impact could have been.

Never lived up to the hopes your leaders had for you.

Never lived up to the hopes you had for yourself.

Satisfaction is dangerous.

Detouring to wonder why

Detouring to wonder why

To wonder why?

Detour.

A different route to get somewhere; usually unplanned, unexpected, often scary and inconvenient.

What if we detoured in our journey to understand, and practice, the world-class, Disney Creativity and Innovation key drivers required to become and stay exceptionally creative and innovative?

The “what if” usually has an ending sounding like this, “I’ll never know?”

Why?

Because it’s safer, more convenient, and easier to manage the unexpected and unplanned if we just get back to the job at hand, which is to maintain the current level of organizational creativity and innovation.

It’s Not The Creativity and Innovation Magic That Makes It Work

It’s the hard Disney Creativity and Innovation work that makes it Magic.

It comes down to being focused and disciplined.

Focused on the basics.
Disciplined to never take our focus off the basics.

Seems ridiculously simple right?

It is.

Remember, though; simple doesn’t mean easy.

If focus and discipline were easy, we’d all be continuously improving; increasing our employee satisfaction, customer satisfaction, and financial results.
