What Exactly Does Disney Do Differently?

The Leadership Imperative
If leadership is defined by a person’s traits and behavior, then vision and values become crucial elements in how a leader functions within an organization. Participants learn how Disney’s leaders use the Leadership Lens to look at the future through the lens of established values, as well as how values remain consistent while the vision can and must change over time to ensure a vibrant organization.
A Leader’s Vision
Participants learn that the vision for their part of the organization must be worded in a way that is engaging and inspiring. A vision must describe who you want to become over the long term, which requires inspirational concepts and messaging.

Genuine Care
Genuine care goes way beyond standard employment benefits (i.e., health, dental, and vision). Participants understand how genuine care pertains to the intentional concern for the well being of each person at Centurion.

Exceptional Service is Achievable.

Service Drives Differentiation
Participants learn that service drives differentiation because exceptional service ruptures stereotypes, those preconceived notions customers have about companies or industries.
