Build relationships based on trust, respect, and empathy from "summary" of Creativity, Inc. (The Expanded Edition) by Ed Catmull,Amy Wallace
At Pixar, we believe in the importance of fostering strong relationships built on trust, respect, and empathy. These values form the foundation of our company culture and are essential for creating a collaborative and creative environment. Trust is crucial because it allows team members to feel safe expressing their ideas and opinions without fear of judgment or retribution. When people trust each other, they are more willing to take risks, share their vulnerabilities, and work together towards a common goal. Respect is another key component of successful relationships at Pixar. We understand that every individual brings unique perspectives, experiences, and talents to the table. By treating each other with respect, we create a space where everyone feels valued and appreciated. This not only leads to better communication and teamwork but also fosters a sense of belonging and inclusivity within the company. Empathy is the third pillar of strong relationships at Pixar. We recognize that each person has their own challenges, struggles, and emotions. By practicing empathy, we can better understand and support our colleagues, leading to stronger connections and a more supportive work environment. When team members feel heard, understood, and cared for, they are more likely to collaborate effectively and contribute their best work. By prioritizing trust, respect, and empathy in our interactions, we create a culture that encourages creativity, innovation, and collaboration. These values are not just buzzwords at Pixar; they are integral to our success as a company. When people feel safe, respected, and understood, they are more likely to take risks, share their ideas, and work together towards a common vision. This is why we place such a strong emphasis on building relationships based on trust, respect, and empathy - because we know that they are the key to unlocking the full potential of our teams and creating truly groundbreaking work.
