Walt DisneyBy Nicolas Lozano
What is Leadership? The ability of leading a group of people or an
organization, or the ability to do this. It involves: Establishing a clear vision Sharing that vision with others so that they will
follow willingly Providing the information, knowledge, and
methods to realize that vision Coordinating and balancing the conflicting
interests of all members

director, screenwriter, voice actor, animator, entrepreneur, entertainer, international icon, and philanthropist
He is mostly recognised for founding The Walt Disney Company, responsible for
producing the most well-known motion pictures in the
world

to create theme parks, based on the stories told by their pictures
Why Walt Disney? I chose Walt Disney as a leader because he was
an active man. He was not just an entrepreneur that put the money in and sat idle, watching.
As he said, “The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.”
He was a leader that deposited his dreams and hopes into his project with heart and soul. Walt Disney was a dreamer.
He never stopped trying out new things, creating new cartoons no matter how successful he was.
He saw the potential of a growing industry; he invested in a business which nobody had tried to develop before.
He was a visionary, he followed his dreams and pursued them through all opposition until his projects were completed.
“Disneyland will never be completed.
It will continue to grow as long as
there is imagination left in the world.”
“As a leader, you need to have a
tenacity to keep on going. Every
person will go through tough times,
especially when he/she’s chasing
after a huge dream or goal.”“It is your tenacity that will cause you to stand out from the rest and attract people to follow you.”
“I do not like to repeat successes; I
like to go on to other things.”
