How Disney Got It’s Magic Back


Listen Later

Today’s episode is about making magic – or rather, how to get the magic back when it’s been lost. Every organization and institution goes through periods when it loses the “magic” that made it great in the first place.

Dave and Carly dive deep into a dark period in one of the most famous companies in the world – Disney. The duo dives into the lessons that leaders can apply from a time when Disney rediscovered and restored its focus on its core driver.

Topics Include

  • The surprising power in answering the question “what business are you in?”

  • The concept of a Core Driver in mission and in leadership to power an organization’s health and vitality.

  • Disney CEO Bob Iger’s realization that the company had lost its magic. 

  • How Disney got its magic back by charting a new path into the future. 

  • We hope you enjoy our conversation!
