Disney Insights: How to Grow Your Company by Growing Your Employees

With Disney having over 100 years as a company, there have been good times and a few tough times. But relatively speaking, the company has fared well over the long haul. It certainly has grown--enormously from its original roots as a small animation studio to one of the biggest media organizations across the globe. It is envied for its growth, but that growth isn't sustainable unless you're growing your employees in a sustainable way. Short term, corporations can do many things to make a quick turn around. Infused capital if nothing else. Show momentary good will and create great marketing campaigns will make people notice. But real admiration comes from sustained long term growth, not from quick overnight deals. And that growth comes from growing your employees. I'm joined today by Kim and Mac Cantrell of 2Impact, former guests on my podcast, who will share what's happening with organizations that are facing their own growth challenges. We'll talk about those, and we'll talk about something called "Soft Wiring" which is a practical approach to working with your employees to engage, motivate and empower them to grow the organization successfully. I'll share plenty of examples of what this looks like at Disney, and you'll see that these are things you can do in your organization as well. So join us on Disney Insights as we talk about how to grow your company by growing your employees. ________________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.
