This past week I had the opportunity to spend 3 days in Disneyland at Disney’s Leadership Institute.  It truly was an honor to be a part of the program. Here’s just one of my takeaways that helps make Disney so magical:

 

1)      Disney believes in “Over Managing” those things which they believe to be critical to their success.  Over managing is not to be confused with “Micro Managing”.  They have determined there are 4 keys that will ultimately make it possible for them to create the happiest place on earth.  By creating the happiest place on earth they’ve successfully built an empire of wealth in the process.  Disney over manages those 4 keys like you wouldn’t believe.  These keys lead to everything they do in a very intentional way.  Nothing, and I mean nothing is ever permitted to get in the way of those 4 keys and they make sure every Disney employee knows them well.  They believe that those 4 keys ultimately make them who they are.  Letting those 4 keys slide in any way would ultimately result in Disney becoming something other than Disney. 

 

Determine what your keys to success are.  Once you’ve done this start “over managing” those keys.  Take confidence in knowing that you are setting yourself up for long term success by sticking to your core values, your keys to success.
