Lead with authenticity and vulnerability from "summary" of Creativity, Inc. (The Expanded Edition) by Ed Catmull,Amy Wallace
Leading with authenticity and vulnerability is a concept that is deeply ingrained in our approach to leadership here at Pixar. It is about being genuine and open in our interactions with others, creating a culture where honesty and transparency are valued above all else. Authenticity is the foundation of effective leadership. When we are authentic, we are true to ourselves and our values, which in turn fosters trust and respect among our team members. By leading with authenticity, we are able to build stronger connections with those around us, creating a sense of unity and shared purpose. Vulnerability is often seen as a weakness, but we believe it is actually a strength. When we are willing to show our vulnerabilities, we are able to connect with others on a deeper level, fostering empathy and understanding. By being vulnerable, we are able to create a culture where it is safe to take risks, make mistakes, and learn from failure. Leading with authenticity and vulnerability requires us to be open and honest in our communication, to be willing to admit when we don't have all the answers, and to be receptive to feedback and different perspectives. It is about creating a culture where everyone feels valued and respected, where creativity and innovation can flourish. At Pixar, we strive to lead by example, showing our team members that it is okay to be themselves, to make mistakes, and to ask for help when needed. By leading with authenticity and vulnerability, we are able to create a culture where everyone feels empowered to contribute their unique talents and ideas, leading to greater creativity and innovation.- Leading with authenticity and vulnerability is about creating a culture of trust, respect, and openness, where everyone feels valued and empowered to do their best work. It is a fundamental aspect of our approach to leadership here at Pixar, and one that we believe is essential for fostering creativity and innovation in any organization.
