The Success Story of Walt Disney.

Leadership Excellence: According to the Disney Institute, the foundation for successful leaders is communication. To foster an engaged and collaborative company culture, the leader must encourage the creativity of his/her employees and create an

environment in which it is safe and comfortable for them to share those

ideas. The word no shuts down hopes, said Bryan Tabler, Disney Institute facilitator. Leaders must use positive language such as yes if and yes and if they want to foster a collaborative culture. Leadership excellence is the first link in Disneys Chain of Excellence because leaders are responsible for the work environment.

Success here leads to employee satisfaction, employee retention, and

subsequently a more positive experience for customers. Success here leads to employee satisfaction, employee retention, and subsequently a more positive experience for customers.

According to Disney, employee satisfaction not customer satisfaction should be a leaders first priority. If your customers are happy but your employees arent, what does that say about your company culture? said Mr. Tabler. Your employees must be first. Trust me, their satisfaction will trickle down to your customers.

I am learning there is no wrong answer and that provides me with the confidence to share ideas and be more of a leader within my role.
Cast Excellence:
Disney uses its own unique business language to set the right tone amongst those within the company. For example, rather than using the word employees, Disney uses cast members. Similarly, customers are referred to as guests and jobs are roles Those who work at Disney dont wear a uniform; they don a costume. It is an intentional element of the company culture, a culture that is well defined, clear to all, and is goal-oriented.

Everyone has a role in the show

Guest Satisfaction:
Disney uses a process known within the company as Guestology. This is the process of understanding your customers needs, wants,

emotions, and the preconceived notions they may have about your
company. By understanding these elements, leaders can establish their companys unique quality standards that can be used to measure the customers

level of satisfaction.
Wants are where you can differentiate from your competition, this is where you create customer loyalty.

Final piece of advice from the Disney Institute:

In order to attain growth, an organization must be willing to take risks
that test the organizational identity and push its products and/or services to new levels. These risks succeed when they allow the previous organizational

identity to remain, while expanding into new territory.

The 5 Great Lessons Walt Disney Taught Us

 1. do what you love Disney as an entrepreneur is his love for drawing.

2. Take what you do seriously He always paid attention to every detail and dealt with things with the utmost care. He never took his art and talent for granted.

 3. Do it for others Whenever Walt Disney created animated shorts back then he never did it just for himself; he never hid his creations from the world, but instead he would always find ways in which he could share his work with others

 4. Never just settle with your first success: One thing that you would definitely notice about Walt Disney is that after one accomplishment he would immediately start on another project

 5.Dont let obstacles stop you: When Walt Disney first started to work on Snow White, his wife and own brother did all they could to convince him to stop. The Snow White project was even termed as Disneys Folly, and halfway across production he ran out of money to continue the work.

 All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. Walt Disney
