Creating Gen-Y Magic is a site devoted to those young members of our society that are making a difference in their organization, to their customers, clients and friends and in starting their own businesses.
The idea was simple, in Lee Cockerell's new book, Creating Magic, Lee shares insights and leadership strategies from a life at Disney. Upon reading his book, we realized that extraordinary things were happening everyday and at the center of this was Gen-Y, the Millennials or the iPod Generation. Whatever we are called by society, we are making change and a difference.
From 20-something Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook, to the Brazen Careerist group of Gen-Y Career Bloggers to those making a social change like Rock For Hunger and Cool People Care and the countless others that remain nameless and continue to defy leadership and societal odds to be the best they can.
Throughout the next few weeks as we get the concept fully ironed out, we will be asking Gen-Y leaders to guest post on how they have "Created Magic" at their organization. Creating Magic can be described as:
- Going above the textbook customer service experience
- Starting your own business
- Climbing the corporate ladder quicker than status quo
- Making an impact at your organization
- Examples of showing that everyone matters
- Caring in times of need
- Helping those in need
- Leading in times of crisis and times and economic downfall
- Any other instance of leadership from a Gen-Y professional
As an added bonus, Lee will be listening in and giving pointers, advice and stories of his own to help you shape your own leadership plan. You don't get your own window on Disney's Main Street for nothing!
Thanks for shaping and being a part of Creating Magic in your own world and enlightening the lives of our readers and listeners.
-Greg Rollett (on behalf of the Creating Gen-Y Magic Team)
