The Happiest Place on Earth • “To all who come to this happy place; welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past…and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams and the hard facts that have created America…with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world. ” – Walt Disney

Unlike many businessmen like him , Disney worked quite differently. Here are some of the principles he espoused : Subordinates need to be respected, encouraged, they need to give the chance to dream and create Clients have to be your guests – for them all the best Partnership needs to be appreciated, supported and preserved against a negative and the conflicts Children - a source of inspiration and creativity It is necessary to see in the long-term period, and to work in the short-term

Disney endured many failures. To the person of no character during a time would be to be given, but not to Mr. Disney. It with advantage overcame all barriers and received the most expected result – success of the favorite business.

He followed an example the animated characters: if the destiny beat him, he simply shook off and continued a way to the purpose, as a rabbit Oswald or Mickey Mouse. Disney, without being given, I went towards the planned aim. The most important lesson which the known animator took out them failures, was in understanding of it is necessary what to work only for itself. Then nobody will substitute and won't betray, and responsibility for any mistake there is nobody will be to confer except itself. In that case mistakes won't want to be made. And if business favourite, isn't terrible and to give life on it – working in pleasure, you don't notice that you work. It isn't a shame to such example to follow, in whatever business you were engaged.

It is interesting that Walt Disney's best animated films often became the reason of semi-bankruptcy of the company – the animator never cared of a financial component and thought only of large-scale and fabulous projects. Walt's such feature on the one hand provided realization of bewitching, grandiose ideas, and with another regularly drove studio in enormous debts. Nevertheless, even after death of the great storyteller the company remains at height and continues to please the audience with wonderful, kind and very sincere animated films.
