About this listen

Whether you are building a small business from the ground up or managing a multinational company, you can learn the seven key traits for leadership success from one of the greatest business innovators and creative thinkers of the 20th century: Walt Disney. Whether you know him as the first to produce cartoons in Technicolor, the mastermind behind the theme park Disneyland, or the founder of the largest entertainment conglomerate, Walt's story of creativity, perseverance in spite of obstacles, and achieving goals resonates and inspires as much today as it ever has.

Author Pat Williams began studying the life and leadership example of Walt Disney as he struggled to build an NBA franchise, the Orlando Magic. Since he was trying to accomplish a goal similar to so many of Walt's-starting with nothing and building a dream from the ground up-he realized that Walt could teach him what he needed to know. And indeed he did.

Through Walt Disney's leadership example, Pat found seven key leadership traits that all great leaders must possess: Vision, Communication, People Skills, Character, Competence, Boldness, and A Serving Heart. Through never-before-heard Walt stories and pragmatic principles for exceeding business goals, you'll learn how to build those skills and implement them to be effective in any leadership arena.

A Magical Look at Walt Disney’s Life and Management Style

I found this book to be fantastic. Here are a few reasons.

-Even though I’ve watched, listened or read multiple stories and biographies about Walt Disney and the history of Disney, many of the facts that were shared were news to me. For example, before it was Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, it was something quite different.

-I particularly like how the author dove into aspects of Walt’s life that impacted his later decisions and passions. One was related to Disneyland, and another was related to Snow White, which probably did more to make Disney a household name than almost anything else (starting in the late 1930s).

-I also really enjoyed hearing some of the Disney artists/WED employees (maybe they were also called cast members) speak about Walt from his very early days until his death.

Another Great Disney Book by Pat Williams!

What a wonderful sequel to “How To Be Like Walt.” Just like that book, I expect to listen to this audiobook over and over again.
