If Walt Were Leading Today… Leadership Lessons Revisited

from LEADS Lounge · host KansasLEADS

What would leadership look like if Walt Disney were leading today? In this return visit to the LEADS Lounge, Dr. Barnes—best-selling author, international speaker, and known worldwide as Dr. Disneyland—helps us revisit Disney’s leadership principles through a modern lens. Building on our earlier conversation, we dive deeper into vision, culture, storytelling, and the intentional choices that turn big ideas into lasting impact. This episode challenges leaders to think differently about how they design experiences, develop people, and create a legacy that endures. Once again, you may never look at Disney...or leadership...the same way.
