6 things I learned from Pixar about fostering a creative culture
TechBeacon
Learn how to encourage a company culture of innovation and creativity based on lessons and best practices from Pixar based on the book Creativity, Inc.
Encourage straight talk- “If there is more truth in the hallways than in meetings, you have a problem.”
Learn how to receive feedback- “A lot of people believe they know what’s right and can’t listen to advice.”
Collaborate with other experts- “Inspiration can, and does, come from anywhere.”
Don’t fear failure- “The reality is—new ideas are fragile. They don’t look good.”
Hire brilliant employees- “If you give a good idea to a mediocre team, they will screw it up. If you give a mediocre idea to a brilliant team, they will either fix it or throw it away and come up with something better.”
Facilitate, don’t just manage- “Rather than getting caught up in a problem, I always wanted to look (at the team) to see if everyone is saying what they think. When these dynamics are working, you will solve your problem every time and do remarkable things.”
