Overcoming the Unseen Forces That Stand in the Way of True Inspiration

Creatividad, S. A., Cómo llevar la inspiración hasta el infinito y más allá

Qual a fórmula por trás de filmes adorados por multidões como Toy Story, Monstros S.A. ou Procurando Nemo? Em Criatividade S.A., Ed Catmull conta a trajetória de sucesso do mais importante e lucrativo estúdio de animação da atualidade, a Pixar, que ele ajudou a fundar, ao lado de Steve Jobs e John Lasseter, em 1986. Dos encontros da equipe às sessões de brainstorm, Catmull mostra como se constrói uma cultura da criatividade, num livro definitivo para quem busca inspiração para os próprios negócios. Para Catmull, a tecnologia jamais deve estar acima de uma boa história; cercar-se de gente mais inteligente do que você torna o ambiente mais propenso à inovação; e encontrar o lado positivo do fracasso é fundamental para garantir o próximo sucesso. Esses são alguns dos princípios apresentados por Catmull em Criatividade S.A. Quase 20 anos depois do lançamento do primeiro filme da trilogia Toy Story, Catmull, atual presidente da Pixar e da Walt Disney Animation Studios, narra a trajetória da empresa que revolucionou a indústria de animação cinematográfica. Entremeando conclusões sobre gestão de pessoal com entusiasmadas informações a respeito dos avanços em tecnologia digital, além da história da Pixar e do cinema de animação, Criatividade S.A. apresenta mais do que conselhos de negócios, com trechos descrevendo situações quase como um roteiro cinematográfico.

HBR's 10 Must Reads on Creativity (with bonus article "How Pixar Fosters Collective Creativity" By Ed Catmull)

Für jedes Unternehmen stehen Innovation und Kreativität ganz oben auf der Wunschliste. Doch nur wenige schaffen es, immer wieder Neues zu entwickeln. Pixar ist eines dieser Unternehmen. Die Pixar Animation Studios schreiben seit über 25 Jahren Erfolgsgeschichte mit Blockbustern wie "Toy Story", "Findet Nemo", "Cars" und vielen mehr. Ed Catmull, einer der Gründer von Pixar, gibt in seinem Buch tiefe Einblicke in die Unternehmensführung und das Management dieses außergewöhnlichen Unternehmens. Er zeigt, wie man mit Unsicherheit umgeht, zerstörerische Kräfte überwindet – und warum man viel mehr erreicht, wenn man den Mitarbeitern Freiheit gibt, statt sie zu kontrollieren.

Wie man die unsichtbaren Kräfte überwindet, die echter Inspiration im Wege stehen
