Recommendation

To succeed in business, you don’t have to wish upon a star. Just pick up Bill Capodagli and Lynn Jackson’s book describing the ten key success secrets of the Disney Company. The secrets derive from four basic tenets: dream, believe, dare and do. The authors show how these principles led to Walt Disney’s success, and how other companies can use them. They include a Disney history to illustrate how the company has applied its principles from films to video to theme parks - including how Disney has learned from its problems and failures. They provide examples of how other companies have applied the Disney Way. getabstract recommends this excellent book to anyone with an interest in business strategy or marketing. While the principles it outlines may be familiar, Capodagli and Jackson demonstrate in an original way just how these principles can contribute to success beyond the Magic Kingdom.

Take-Aways

  • The four basic concepts of The Disney Way are dream, believe, dare and do.
  • Everything Walt Disney did derived from these concepts. He began by dreaming, he tested his dreams against his beliefs, he dared to take risks, and he executed his vision to make those dreams come true.
  • Give everyone in your company a chance to dream and to come up with creative ideas.
