Obsessively assessing and developing?

Steve Jobs — Do NOT use historical figures in the following exercise…

Let us check for grade accountability with five questions. Each question should be answered only from the leaders you personally know. Do not use historical figures nor movie characters, nor people your friends work for.

Who is the most intentional leader you personally know who over-focuses on consistently demonstrating the best leadership behaviors?
Who is the most intentional leader who over-focuses on operationalizing your employee culture through your organization’s heritage and traditions, traits and behaviors, language and symbols, and shared values?
Who is the most intentional leader who over-focuses on continuously exceeding your customer’s expectations?
Who is the most intentional leader who over-focuses on making their profession a remarkable art form?
Who is the most intentional leader who over-focuses on continuously thinking inside the box?

Leader or waiter (pick one)?

procrastination quote — Replace writer with leader.

If you wait for inspiration to be a leader, you’re not a leader, you’re a waiter.

Being world class organized is essential to Disney’s success

Lee Cockerell's new book Time Management Magic — Each of us would literally drop what we are doing to help the other.

Lee Cockerell, Executive Vice President (retired and inspired), Walt Disney World Operations, is as good as they get.

In my 30+ years (’82 – ’14) at Disney, he’s the best operational leader i’ve seen.

Period.

His third book, Time Management Magic is available now.

Dear Son, what’s also Magic is how your dad has gone from being an insignificant Cast Member among the 40k Lee led for a decade at Disney, to being on his short list of people he trusts.

And it happened organically, unintentionally.

Never an ulterior motive.

By accident, really.

Being organized and focused and disciplined.

Being creative, hopeful, driven.

Being fearless, with some practical constraints, from representing one of the world’s most admirable companies.

These are characteristics of people who are labeled crazy, weird, misfits, outcasts.

Being compelled to ask questions everyone should have ready answers too, but when asked, leaders become quiet, embarrassed, and even quietly angry.

Yeah, it’s lonely.

And a huge responsibility.

Question – is it worth it?
