  5. bet big on creative people, give them enormous leeway and

    support, and provide them with an environment where they can get honest feedback from all

  6. autonomy is good. approval processes are bad. got creativity?

  7. “Proper Channels” restrict innovation.

  8. invest in an environment that facilitates open communication

    not if.

  10. advisors can help evolve ideas only if the discussion is

  11. “this meeting is for sharing your unfinished work and the

    future you see for it.”

  12. 4-5 years is how long it takes Pixar to produce

    a single film.

    again? what five things would you not?” continuous improvement through effective post-mortems.
