Leadership Lessons from Disney Princesses

A good leader gets down and dirty with his or her troops…A good

leader leads by example!

She lead by example

and cooked and

cleaned for the

dwarves even though

she did not

necessarily have to.

Lesson 1: Lead by Example

Mulan is introduced into a

man's world and changed

the whole picture. She

created a valuable change

in all its followers towards a

change in mentality.

A good leader is one who knows how to transform

himself/herself to change his/her environment…A good leader

sets the bar for change management.

Lesson 2: Be a Change Leader

She knew what she want and

was prepared to stand up for

herself. She was a balance of

strength and compassion. Her

caring nature is evident when

she removes judgment and

accepts the Beast for who he is.

A good leaders judges situations, not people.

Lesson 2: Avoid Judgement

She was kind to

everyone, even the

smallest of creatures,

and even those who

weren´t kind back to

her.

A good leader always finds a balance; a good leader has to be

strong, but not rude; kind, but not weak; bold, but not bullying.

Lesson 4: Find Balance

The princess of the

Indian tribe in danger

of being conquered by

the English, used her

leadership skills to

bring two worlds

together.

In the heat of controversy, a good leader must take both sides

and look for compromise.

Lesson 5: Be an Influential Leader

She was motivated by fear,

and also was motivated by

love. Almost every decision

she made come down to one

of those two things, and she

choose love over fear.

A good leader does not see any challenge too big to handle…for

a good leader, every problem is an opportunity for greater

achievement.

Lesson 6: Avoid your comfort zone

and not only the princesses teach us a lesson…

Maleficent showed us that

there’s two sides to every

story. While Sleeping Beauty

portrayed Maleficent as

wicked and evil, Maleficent

did a role reversal and

showed the king as evil.

Be willing to listen to others and be teachable ...you´re not

right about everything…nobody is!

Lesson 7: Learn continuously

7 Key Leadership Take Aways:

“If your actions inspire others to

dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”
