Leadership Lessons And Quotes From Disney’s Moana

Joseph Lalonde

Disney’s latest animated feature film is the hit success Moana. Moana is about a Pacific Islander who has to partner with the demigod Maui. I’ll be honest, I was a bit hesitant going into the movie because of the mythology of the characters. You have demigods, gods, and other mythical references. There were quite a few references to these beings.

A Timely Reflection

Lead Change Blog

When I was a young lad growing up in the Heartlands, I felt the days were almost never-ending, especially in the summer. The available time stretched infinitely off toward the horizon and I often wondered how I would fill all that time. As I grew, I learned some great things about time. Our perception of time changes as we grow. As an adolescent, only the part of day-time that involved farm work or schoolwork remained apparently never-ending.

How to Make Something Productive Out of Your Anxiety

Next Level Blog

As an executive coach , I often work with clients who don’t just have very full plates; it can feel to them like they’re spinning four or five full plates at once. (That sounds really messy.) When you’ve got so much to do that it’s hard just to keep track of what’s on the list, it’s really easy to start freaking out about how you are going to get everything done.

The Power of “I Don’t Know”

leaderCommunicator

For many of us, the words “I don’t know” are like kryptonite: a sign of weakness. In reality, the ability to say “I don’t know” can be a hidden strength. Particularly during times of change , we need to be honest, straightforward and timely in sharing what we know—even when there are open issues and/or there’s much that’s still hasn’t been decided.

Birds Flying In A “V”

by Madisyn Taylor Like birds flying in a V, when we feel the presence of others moving along side of us, there is little we cannot accomplish. As they swoop, drift, and glide, inscribing magnificent patterns across the sky, birds are serene displays of grace and beauty. Long a source of inspiration, birds can be messengers from the spirit realm, or a symbol of the human soul, as they cast off their earthly mooring and soar heavenward.

The Biggest Mistake of My Life

Ron Edmondson

I hope you learn from my error. One of our boys has always been such a deep thinker. When he was 3 years old, watching a movie with him was a chore, because he would analyze every aspect of the plot. We would try to explain to him it was only a cartoon, without a ton of hidden meanings, but it was never enough. Even today he’s the analyzer of life.

There Is No Shame In Asking For Help

Eric Jacobson

If you are new to managing, or if you are struggling with a management dilemma, ask for help. There is no shame in asking for help. Seek the guidance of a colleague at work. Reach out to a mentor at or away from work. Turn to an online resource. Consult a book on managing. Whatever you do, don't sit back and do nothing. Managing even one employee can be challenging.

Harvard Business Review

We often hear tips and tricks for helping us to “control” our emotions, but that’s the wrong idea: strong emotions aren’t bad, and they don’t need to be pushed down or controlled; they are, in fact, data. Our emotions evolved as a signaling system, a way to help us communicate with each other and to better understand ourselves.

How Domino’s Pizza Reinvented Itself

You don’t have to be a programmer in Silicon Valley or a gene splicer in biotech to unleash exciting innovations and create huge value. Instead, you can rethink what it means to be in the retail-banking business, or the industrial-distribution business, or the office-cleaning business.

9 Keys to Success Strategy Guide

Strategy Driven

1. Start with a Clear Purpose. Successful entrepreneurs are driven by a purpose bigger than themselves. While they realize they need to make money to be sustainable, none of the 100 entrepreneurs we interviewed mentioned money as a primary driver. It is not what motivates them. Instead, they want to do something they are passionate about, solve a problem that intrigues them, create jobs in their town, provide phenomenal customer service, and change the world in their own way. 2.

One Obstacle to Curing Cancer: Patient Data Isn’t Shared

Harvard Business Review

Scientific efforts to find cures for cancer will be severely hampered if the scientific community does not change the ways in which patient data is collected, shared, and analyzed. The development of targeted therapies and immunotherapies — the two biggest hopes for cancer cures — depend on the existence of large data sets comprising patients’ genetic and clinical information.
