Whether you are building a small business from the ground up or managing
a multinational company, you can learn the 7 key traits for leadership
success from one of the greatest business innovators and creative
thinkers of the 20th century: Walt Disney. Whether you know him as the
first to produce cartoons in Technicolor, the mastermind behind the
theme park Disneyland, or the founder of the largest entertainment
conglomerate, Walt's story of creativity, perseverance in spite of
obstacles, and achieving goals resonates and inspires as much today as
it ever has.
Author Pat Williams began studying the life and leadership example of
Walt Disney as he struggled to build an NBA franchise, the Orlando
Magic. Since he was trying to accomplish a goal similar to so many of
Walt's--starting with nothing and building a dream from the ground
up--he realized that Walt could teach him what he needed to know. And
indeed he did.
Through Walt Disney's leadership example, Pat found 7 key leadership
traits that all great leaders must possess: Vision, Communication,
People Skills, Character, Competence, Boldness, and A Serving Heart.
Through never-before-heard Walt stories and pragmatic principles for
exceeding business goals, you'll learn how to build those skills and
implement them to be effective in any leadership arena. As you discover
the life of this great leader, you'll realize that no goal is too great
and no dream too daring for anyone who leads like Walt.
