An accessible and insightful business book fully endorsed by Disney, one of the biggest brands in the world and a hugely successful corporation

Outstanding leadership is the kind that inspires employees, delights customers, and achieves extraordinary business results. And no one knows more about this kind of leadership than Lee Cockerell, the man who ran Walt Disney World Resort operations for over a decade.

In Creating Magic, he shares the ten practical, common sense strategies that guided his own journey from a poor farm boy in Oklahoma to the head of operations for a multibillion dollar enterprise. Combining surprising business wisdom with insightful and entertaining stories from his four decades on the front lines of some of the world's best-run companies, Lee shows all of us - from small business owners to managers at every level - how to become better leaders by infusing quality, character, courage, enthusiasm and integrity into our workplaces and our lives.

Elegant in its simplicity and practicality. Lee has distilled many powerful leadership strategies into the lessons many of us learned as children. They are no less relevant to our working lives.
