The magic of the holiday season is almost upon us, and as we prepare for the merriment and joy, one question remains in the minds of many: what happens at Santa's North Pole workshop that we don't know about?
According to a surprising new book by a former Disney Institute expert and entertainment executive, the North Pole workshop is a model of exceptional leadership that we can learn from. 'The Santa System: Ten Leader Lessons from the North Pole', set to hit bookshelves nationwide, hopes to lift the lid on the internal mechanisms that make this legendary establishment tick and why it keeps producing results that leave everyone in awe.
The author argues that, just like Santa Claus, exceptional leaders must become master storytellers who share enticing visions and values that inspire others. Effective leaders empower people to achieve the impossible while keeping everyone motivated and inspired to perform at their highest potential.
This is not just any other self-help book that slaps a label of jargon terms to an otherwise worn-out inspirational treatise. Instead, this remarkable literary piece makes an actual business case for having fun in the workplace while letting employees feel their joy come shining through in what they do. At the heart of its message is an authentic approach to building a business, backed by valuable lessons gleaned from genuine experiences and from some of the key individuals behind the magic.
On the list of 10 valuable lessons drawn from inside the North Pole workshop, we find points like: Be A Master Of The 'Nice List', the critical value of empathy that enables leaders in prioritizing staff well-being and why leaders have to go for that long shot again and again, staying true to the core values.
For those who have been wondering about what keeps the nation's favorite Christmas mascot ticking long enough to supply much of the delight experienced at this time of the year, they no longer need to speculate.
