Ideas worth spreading

Why Going the Extra Mile is a Flawed Concept...and What to Do Instead

Jeff Noel • TEDxAUK

Drawing from his 30 years of experience in Disney, Jeff Noel, a 2-time Disney Lifetime Achievement Award recipient and a published author, claims that we should no longer worry about going the extra mile. Instead, through stories and examples, he suggests going the extra inch. Jeff has earned the title of Disney Institute’s highest rated, and most requested keynote speaker. After retiring from Disney in 2014, he started his own enterprise, Jungle Jeff, which focuses on helping companies navigate and achieve business excellence.
