Creativity, Inc.: Overcoming the Unseen Forces That Stand in the Way of True Inspiration by Amy Wallace, Ed Catmull

4.0

My main take aways from this book were that a positive and productive work environment should enable people to feel comfortable: sharing their ideas, taking on responsibility, making mistakes rather than being stifled by the fear of preventing them, expressing individuality, and accepting change and new methods of working rather than clinging to stability and known processes.

Whilst Ed takes the reader on a tour of Pixar and Disney's animation studios and brings to life their creative processes, he gives the reader many examples of how practical changes, such as altering the layout of an office building, can drastically improve employee satisfaction and productivity - creating a dynamic book which blends wisdom on creativity and management.
