On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
Yesterday’s (Day 41) Disney Leadership book writing took place at Disney’s SunTrust Building.
Only a few feet away, i walked through The Hilton at Walt Disney World’s convention center. Boxes of the book, Nice Bike, were being stacked for convention attendees.
It made me ponder the difference between the C25K running initiative to get folks off the couch to run their first 5k, and the contrast against the personal habits modification necessary to make running (or some aerobic activity) last a lifetime.
This led quickly to the business analogy:
Inspirational speaker creating a ripple effect lasting from days to weeks, and in rare occasions, months. A good shot in the arm, but it wears off. Eventually, it’s like nothing ever happened.
Catalytic speaker sharing cultural architecture to address – and solve for -root causes. One year, maybe two or three years later, the culture has made a dramatic leap, actually becoming the DNA of the company’s brand reputation.

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.
