November 12, 2018J. Jeff Kober's latest book, "Disney, Leadership, and You" is an excellent work that more than delivers on its title.
Drawing from an inquisitive mind and keen insight, Kober's nearly five decades experience with Walt Disney - from both within and without the company - provide a very readable, practical, and thoroughly enjoyable leadership book that you will find yourself returning to time and again for just the right nugget to use.
I have "known" Jeff for years through his writing, and earlier this year was grateful to meet him and engage his services for an immersive park experience with a group I was leading. The warmth, wit, and sheer knowledge of Disney, coupled with his ability to instantly link it to practical applications of my group, was one of the highlights of our experience. That same experience has been translated into this book.
If you are a leader in any size or type of organization, the stories Jeff Kober has captured in "Disney, Leadership, and You" should be a valuable addition to your library, a source of personal encouragement, and a wealth of practical training for both you and your team.
