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.

Solving for the Growing Workforce “Donut Hole”

Lead Change Blog

I recently attended a thought-provoking presentation about the future of work by futurist Jim H. Lee. During the presentation, he referred to a growing workforce condition he calls the “donut hole,” a situation that has been created by the desire and need for aging Boomers to work longer. As Boomers stay put in their positions, Lee explained, there is little room left for Gen Xrs to move up, so instead they move on to other jobs or start their own businesses.

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.
