Product Description

Product Description
This is a "Fortune" best business book of the year! It presents the strategies that built Disney - and how they can help your business soar beyond the limits of traditional management. Walt Disney's dreams, beliefs, and daring launched an entertainment and marketing empire, one whose influence is felt around the world and whose success provides a dynamic model of business excellence. "The Disney Way" provides an in-depth examination of the Disney philosophy, and explains how to instill it in any company - to achieve superior teamwork, consistent innovation, and Disney-style success.Praise for "The Disney Way": 'If you've ever wondered exactly how a cartoon rodent spawned a media empire - and whether your company could learn anything from Disney's methods - here's your chance to find out ...' - "Fortune". 'This book is all about the real magic: stimulating and harmonizing the collective energy of your people. What works for the world's most famous mouse can work for you' - Kenneth H. Blanchard, Bestselling coauthor, "Who Ate My Cheese?" and "The One Minute Manager". 'As Bill and Lynn's string of successful clients attests, the principles of good management that form the Disney Way can work their magic on any organization, including yours' - Fred Wiersma, Business strategist, Bestselling coauthor, "The Discipline of Market Leaders".

From the Author
The Disney Way embodies valuable lessons for every company.
As we see it, the true secret of the Disney organization is a four-tiered philosophy that Walt Disney embraced 75 years ago: Dream, Believe, Dare, Do. It has been said that Walt was once asked what made him successful. He responded that before he began any venture, he dreamed of things that hadn't been attempted before, he examined his beliefs and values to see if an idea had merit, he dared to turn his idea into reality, and finally, he developed a plan to make it all happen. We have positioned Disney as a benchmark to a variety of companies who have made the Disney magic work for them! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

1.0 out of 5 stars A waste of time, 28 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Very disappointing. Very little new Disney information. The book was unfocused and a classic example of all that is bad with management consultants who try to milk an idea but offer little.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'll be waiting for the sequel!, 24 Aug 1999
By A Customer
If it's good enough for Anne Fisher of FORTUNE Magazine's Best Business Books, March 29, 1999, it's good enough for me.

As an administrator and facilitator entrenched in coporate education and business training, I can honestly suggest that this is one of the most powerful and creative books I've read in years. Benchmarking best practices of managment, creativity and customer service against Disney (the icon of all three) it is no wonder professionals in companies of all sizes and

industries are talking about it.

Not to mention, Capadogli and Jackson are kind enough to incorporate many tools, concepts and strategies that have probably made them so successful as management consultants and authors, you are virtually guaranteed numerous 'take-aways'.

I'll be waiting for the sequel!

5.0 out of 5 stars An incredibly clear explanation of an incredible company, 24 Jan 1999
By A Customer
Buy this book, it delivers! I've been hearing about the Disney management style for years, even debating whether I should attend the Disney Management Conferences to learn about the techniques Disney uses in managing its "cast members" and its' businesses. Then I found this book. I cannot tell you what an incredible job the authors do in relating what you need to know in a clear and precise method. As an author myself of technical books for Windows 98 and MCSE subjects, I know how formidable it is to take a complex subject and make is simple enough for all, yet not condescending. Kudos for a job well done!
