Book Synopsis Creativity, Inc. (The Expanded Edition) by : Ed Catmull
Download or read book Creativity, Inc. (The Expanded Edition) written by Ed Catmull and published by Random House. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The co-founder and longtime president of Pixar updates and expands his 2014 New York Times bestseller on creative leadership, reflecting on the management principles that built Pixar’s singularly successful culture, and on all he learned during the past nine years that allowed Pixar to retain its creative culture while continuing to evolve. “Might be the most thoughtful management book ever.”—Fast Company For nearly thirty years, Pixar has dominated the world of animation, producing such beloved films as the Toy Story trilogy, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Up, and WALL-E, which have gone on to set box-office records and garner eighteen Academy Awards. The joyous storytelling, the inventive plots, the emotional authenticity: In some ways, Pixar movies are an object lesson in what creativity really is. Here, Catmull reveals the ideals and techniques that have made Pixar so widely admired—and so profitable. As a young man, Ed Catmull had a dream: to make the first computer-animated movie. He nurtured that dream as a Ph.D. student, and then forged a partnership with George Lucas that led, indirectly, to his founding Pixar with Steve Jobs and John Lasseter in 1986. Nine years later, Toy Story was released, changing animation forever. The essential ingredient in that movie’s success—and in the twenty-five movies that followed—was the unique environment that Catmull and his colleagues built at Pixar, based on philosophies that protect the creative process and defy convention, such as: • Give a good idea to a mediocre team and they will screw it up. But give a mediocre idea to a great team and they will either fix it or come up with something better. • It’s not the manager’s job to prevent risks. It’s the manager’s job to make it safe for others to take them. • The cost of preventing errors is often far greater than the cost of fixing them. • A company’s communication structure should not mirror its organizational structure. Everybody should be able to talk to anybody. Creativity, Inc. has been significantly expanded to illuminate the continuing development of the unique culture at Pixar. It features a new introduction, two entirely new chapters, four new chapter postscripts, and changes and updates throughout. Pursuing excellence isn’t a one-off assignment but an ongoing, day-in, day-out, full-time job. And Creativity, Inc. explores how it is done.

Book Synopsis Gifts of Moments by : Anthony J. Harris
Download or read book Gifts of Moments written by Anthony J. Harris and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012-02-11 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gifts of Moments: Being Somebody to Somebody is a series of poignant and compelling stories that illustrate the importance of using our God-given gifts of moments being somebody to somebody rather than being nobody to anybody. Moments are precious gifts from God, who expects us to use those gifts wisely. Once a moment has passed, we no longer possess it. It is gone forever and will never be experienced again. At the end of the day and as each moment passes, we are challenged to ponder some soul-searching questions: How did I use that moment that just passed? Did I use that moment being somebody to somebody? Did I use that moment for my own selfish needs? What will I do when the next moment and the moments that follow come into my life? How do I learn how to use my moments in the most beneficial manner possible as God's covenant requires? This book contains answers to those questions. The book is interactive; and the author provides a roadmap and a template for the reader to recall stories that illustrate their efforts at being somebody to somebody. The author suggests that by staying in the moment; seizing the moment; sharing the moment, finding strength in the moment; specializing the moment; and serving in the moment, the reader will discover and rediscover their own examples of being somebody to somebody. More importantly, the author challenges the reader to share those stories with others whose lives could be transformed by the substance and strength of their stories.
