The Santa System: Ten Leader Lessons from the North Pole

About The Santa System: Ten Leader Lessons from the North Pole

Unwrap Santa’s secrets. Ccelebrate your success.

Imagine an organization that serves billions of children all over the world. The man in charge must know which of those children are nice and which toys each nice child wants. And, he must deliver the right toys, to the right child, in the right home, in just one night. From a business perspective, the leadership, employees, processes, and organizational effectiveness required for such success boggles the mind.

Though it may seem too good to be true, that organization exists. It’s Santa’s Workshop and Lenn Millbower, The Mouse Man™ and former Disney training leader, visited it at the North Pole. Santa’s team, led by Merri Claus, gave him an eye-opening, behind-the-scenes look at the methodology that delivers Santa’s success. In this book, Lenn will unwrap those secret strategies so you can deliver your own organizational magic.

The Santa System: Ten Leader Lessons from the North Pole is ideal for leaders, influencers, contributors, and specialists at all organizational levels. As Dr. Karl Albrecht writes in the foreword, it “is a fun ride and a good time. Drawing on his long experince with the legendary Disney culture, and a career in show business, and adding his own creative twists, Lenn deliverst a fresh, entertaining, and useful perspective for thinking about the challenges of leadership, management, employee engagement, and organizational effectiveness. His Santa Claus metaphor and model, while fun to work with, are also surprisingly durable, with room for the spectrum of concepts, principles, and practices that shape the practical realities of running a successful enterprise.”

Among the topics covered in The Santa System, Lenn shares five critical areas that deliver Santa’s success:
PURPOSE – Gaining a deeper understanding of how harnessing emotion motivates and inspires team members to soar to new heights.
PRIORITIES – Avoiding the naughty and embracing the nice through effective decision-making filters that align with organizational purpose and values.
PEOPLE – Uncovering the true North Pole behaviors expected of leaders and team members to create an organizational culture of excellence and accountability.
PERFORMANCE – Learning how to protect the organization’s image and align it, and its team members, with public perception.
PROCESS – Helping transform the organization into a lean, efficient, and ever-improving machine through continuous improvement methodology.
The Santa System is, obviously, an analogy, but analogies give a fanciful gift. They illuminate key truths without the baggage of reality. This analogy will deliver practical tools and tips to illustrate key concepts. Among other gifts, it will share the detailed process for the annual roof run, how the NaNe (naughty/nice) list works, and, just for fun, the surprising secrets about Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. So, join Lenn on a happy holiday of discovery, and give the gift of success to yourself and your organization. You’ll learn Santa’s secrets and love your success.

A swoony small-town slow burn between two people who couldn’t be more different.

After her relationship implodes on live TV, Eliza Miller retreats to her charming lakeside cabin in the forest, the perfect place to wallow in peace and figure out her future… Until a gray-eyed, arrogant billionaire storms in, turning her world upside down.

Being stuck in a cabin in the tiny town of Silver Lake Falls, Maine, for three months is Carter’s idea of hell, especially with an unexpected strawberry-blonde roommate taking over his space and mind when he should be getting back to the boardroom.

Eliza’s not too happy about the situation either. She should ignore her cold yet charming roommate and get her life together, no matter how her body reacts to his touch. But can she build a new life, and achieve her dreams, when her difficult past lingers in the background? Despite all her efforts, it might catch up to her in the worst possible way.

Less than stellar first impressions turn into a tension-filled push and pull with an end date.

High Heels & Mistletoe by C.A. King, USA Today Bestselling Author

High Heels & Mistletoe by C.A. King, USA Today Bestselling Author

Call it an allergy or a family curse, either way it boiled down to the same problem: Julietta Romero couldn’t go within six feet of mistletoe.

Forty-eight weeks, from January to the beginning of December, were spent filling the position as a top executive at a prestigious marketing firm—a five-year running record without a single incident. As long as she continued taking all her vacation hours all at the same time, nothing would change. Then, the worst scenario happened: with only a handful of days left before her flight, she found herself working round the clock on the firm’s biggest deal yet, and her boss wasn’t letting her leave until it was signed, sealed, and delivered.

Luke Winslow was in love with women, parties, and the holidays, and not necessarily in that order. Taking over one of his father’s companies didn’t fit into any of his plans, nor did a relationship that lasted longer than a roll in the sheets. There wasn’t a single person who had made him want to settle down and be serious, that was until she fell into his arms… several times. Now, he’ll do anything possible to stop her from escaping his charms, including holding off putting his John Hancock on the business deal his father instructed him to close.

It’s up to the magic of the season to bring this unlikely couple together with a little help from a pair of High Heels and Mistletoe.
