PRE-SHOW GUIDE - IDN Summit and Expo

10:00 am – 10:15 am Break
Today’s successful leaders provide a clear vision, create a structure for executing work, and engage
people in the purpose of the organization. Walt Disney himself was a firm believer in this inspirational
style of leadership; he used it throughout his long career and taught it to the leaders who succeeded
him.
This program will teach you to: effectively communicate your vision and examine personal methods
for inspiring others; explore successful Disney systems and the organizational structures that support
them; examine the strategies Disney leaders employ to keep their teams engaged in their work;
employ methods for sustaining momentum toward the achievement of goals; and develop day-to-day
behaviors that will assist you in making a long-lasting impact on the people around you.
Learning Objectives:
1. State the organizational vision for your team and communicate it in a way that motivates action.
2. Evaluate the culture of those you lead and structure them in a way that maximizes involvement.
3. Prepare strategies that will enable your team to take a proactive approach to change.
4. Identify the leadership values and behaviors that will contribute to your success as a leader.

In today’s workplace, change is occurring at an ever-increasing rate. In order to be successful in a
climate of change, organizations must be able to foster an environment where collaboration and
new ideas are not only safe, but expected and encouraged. Walt Disney knew that our success as a
company relied on our ability to encourage innovative ideas and then support their development.
This program will also help you discover how to: foster a collaborative environment that draws on the
creative resources of your entire organization; establish systems that help you make good decisions
about new ideas; focus your employees’ creativity on the goals of your organization; improve
productivity by implementing new ideas generated in the creative process and enjoy everyone in the
organization working as a leader to support the organization as well as each other.
Learning Objectives:
1. Assemble the organizational systems and processes that help employees manage creative
resources and make decisions about ideas.
2. Formulate a collaborative environment that draws upon the creative resources of your entire
organization.
3. Build the productivity of the idea-generation process by focusing your employees’ creativity on the
goals of your organization.
4. Challenge employees to desire and achieve creative excellence for their own benefits as well as
the benefit of your entire organization.
