After many years in leadership I found there are some great tools to keep in your leadership toolbox. During this special virtual event celebrating episode 500, Jody and I welcomed people to a live recording. It was a great turnout and fun seeing so many familiar faces. Thank you for the ongoing support and commitment to create Disney magic in your organization.

This episode focuses on one big question to ask yourself:

Do YOU have the right tools in your toolbox to be an effective leader?

When you have a people problem, you need the right tool/tools to fix it. I've put together a list of the tools that have been most effective in my professional and personal life.

42 TOOLS

*Hiring, *Training, *Treatment, Discipline, *Empathy, *Knowledge, *Truth, *Clarity,

*Fairness, *Firmness, *Caring, *Coolness, *Calmness, *Collectedness, *Delegation,

*Trust, *Coaching, *Courage *Values, *Morals, *Learning, *Hiring, *Training, *Forgivness

*Treatment, *Urgency, *Teach *Hard Conversations, *Patience, *Recognition, *Apology

*Appreciation, *Encouragement , *Respect* Listen, *Inclusive, *Development, *Advice,

*Simple reminder, * Verbal Warning, Written Warning *Termination.

Remember, YOU may have created the problem in the first place by not using the right tools. Using the wrong tools can make the problem worse. 99 % of all problems are created by people and the other 1% by Mother Nature….Lee Cockerell
