Creativity.inc is a book written by the founder of Pixar. The company we all know very well from animated blockbusters.

A lesson known from books - Knowledge/Books/Black Box Thinking

Lessons

A good idea without a good team is nothing (this was also written about by Knowledge/People/Jim Collins in Knowledge/Books/Good to Great and Knowledge/People/Jocko Willink in Knowledge/Books/Extreme Ownership).

In a team, everyone should have equal right and opportunity to express their opinion and give feedback to others. This is also what Knowledge/People/Jim Collins wrote about when discussing the concept of Level 5 Leadership.

Trivia:

If you are learning to draw, do it upside down and focus on the white space and not the shape being drawn. E.g., when you draw a chair, draw everything that is not a chair. This is how Pixar employees developed their drawing skills.
