The formula for leadership success is never as simple as 1 + 1 = 2. In fact, a recent article in Inc. Magazine identified 7 Leadership Qualities You May Not Know You Have, pointing out that some personality traits, which might have been considered “weaknesses” in the past, might lead to personal leadership success today. We agree with the author’s assertion that empathy, optimism, forgiveness, altruism, eloquence, discernment and modesty are all important factors in determining potential leadership success. We also know that great leadership comes from consistently demonstrating these types of traits over time. At Disney Institute, we believe that great leadership depends upon the actions one takes with respect to the organization’s values. We call this “values-infused leadership.” What defines a values-infused leader? Simply stated: these leaders actively cultivate success by making values foundational to their decision-making. These Four Considerations help to determine their effectiveness:

According to the dictionary, “leadership” is a noun. I hate to break it to Merriam-Webster’s, but ask any leader, and they will tell you that “leadership” is a verb. Not some boring stative non-action verb either, “leadership” is all about action.

"Mr. Gorbachev, Tear down this wall!"
A number of years ago I was fortunate to be on the opening team of a new theme park in California. I was one of the first brought on in my department, and in those initial months as the park was being built it was a thrill to watch the teamwork and vision take root. As we brought more people on board and got closer to opening day, that momentum continued and the teamwork and excitement flourished.

Rise and shine! Morning time just became your new best friend. Love it or hate it, utilizing the morning hours before work may be the key to a successful, and healthy, lifestyle. That’s right, early rising is a common trait found in many CEOs, government officials, and other influential people. Margaret Thatcher was up every day at 5 a.m.; Frank Lloyd Wright at 4 am and Robert Iger, the CEO of Disney wakes at 4:30am just to name a few. I know what you’re thinking – you do your best work at night. Not so fast. According to Inc. Magazine, morning people have been found to be more proactive and more productive. In addition, the health benefits for those with a life before work go on and on. Let’s explore 5 of the things successful people do before 8 am.
Is there a simple way to begin to support leadership development and cultivate the ability to lead with excellence? Happily, there is. All too often, we as leaders lose our way. Rather than face into what is most important, we allow ourselves to get pulled into the surrounding chaos or distracted by the 'emergency of the day' while the truly important matters are left unattended. And, over time, we can begin to feel as though this is simply the way it is, even as we also notice a sense of loss, anger or frustration. We know that we are failing to lead with the kind of excellence that we are innately capable of exhibiting. Missed opportunities, lack of innovation, ethical mistakes, and loss of productivity can be the result. And that isn't even the end of the story!

“No one thought it was a great idea, especially my boss. They finally gave in because I pushed so hard. Well you know what? It was the best and most popular part of the show. Everyone raved about it, however, I am sitting here incredulous because on the call my boss took credit for it all. I can’t.”
That statement came from a Millennial I know who is beyond disgusted with her job. She loves the company but the manager wants all the credit.

I’ve realized so many business benefits from blogging and it has become one of my favorite things to talk about with leaders trying to figure out social media’s role in the enterprise. But beyond the tangible business benefits, there are also great personal benefits to help you become a stronger leader. This is why blogging and leadership go hand-in-hand:

With the death of Tony Benn, a famous Labour politician, it got me thinking about principled leadership. Whilst many will not agree with the ideas that Tony Benn followed, I think we have to respect the way he went about them.
He was born into the upper middle class, and yet turned down his heredity peerage which would have prevented him from serving in the House of Commons, because he wanted to serve there in order to help people.

Charisma may be useful in attracting a following, but it is largely useless when it comes to achieving a long-term, positive impact on the people and organizations we lead. For this, we need character. Effective leadership is an inside-out job.

I was recently in a third grade classroom and was struck by the presence of rules that were posted for how to have a conversation. The poster said, "Each person must contribute to the discussion but take turns talking. Ask each other, 'Would you like to add to my idea?' or 'Can you tell us what you are thinking?' Ask questions so that you understand each other's ideas. Say, 'Can you tell me more about that?' or 'Can you say that in another way?'"

When a new hire joins your company, what do they take away from their first impression of your organization? In most process-driven companies, the first impression is usually a twelve-inch binder full of procedures, checklists, and forms that tell employees exactly what to do, and what not to do. In product-driven companies, new hires might get a sample of your company’s flagship offering — a shiny laptop, a sporty bike, a sweet box of chocolates — along with that twelve-inch binder. If your company’s product isn’t tangible, that binder might come with a pile of collateral on the strategic/integrated/value-added/flexible/contextual/virtual/something-as-a-service your company sells. I don’t know about you, but the only thing I’d be interested in is the chocolate.
