Creating Magic
I wanted to take a few minutes to tell you about an upcoming book you might be interested in, "Creating Magic - 10 Common Sense Leadership Strategies From A Life At Disney" by Lee Cockerell. I know that for the most part this blog has been used to post the results of my Earth Survey Project, but Lee was kind enough to take part in my project (http://earthsurvey.blogspot.com/2007/12/lee-cockerell.html ), so I wanted to return the favor and give some mention to his upcoming book. Lee spent many years working in the hospitality industry, and held a variety of executive positions with Hilton Hotels (8 years), Marriott Corporation (17 years) and with The Walt Disney Company, which he joined in 1990. Lee was an integral part of the team that opened the Disneyland Paris Resort, and he later went on to become the Executive Vice President of Operations for Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, the position he held while I was working as an animal keeper at Disney's Animal Kingdom. I was fortunate enough to meet Lee early in my Disney career, during an orientation session for newly-hired salaried employees (which all of the animal keepers were at that time), and Lee and I have shared some correspondence over the years, although he has since retired from Disney and I am no longer working there... During his time at Disney, Lee developed the Disney Great Leader Strategies, which have been taught to countless Disney Cast Members, as well as corporate executives and many others over the years at the Disney Institute, where he is a featured speaker. Lee also wrote the popular "Main Street Diary" newsletter, which was distributed weekly to WDW Cast Members.
