Lead with humility and listen to the ideas of others from "summary" of Creativity, Inc. (The Expanded Edition) by Ed Catmull,Amy Wallace
At Pixar, we believe that a key element of successful leadership is the ability to lead with humility and listen to the ideas of others. This concept is deeply ingrained in our culture and is something that we strive to embody in everything we do. When leaders approach their work with humility, they are able to create an environment where everyone feels valued and respected. This, in turn, encourages team members to share their ideas and contribute to the creative process. Humility is not about thinking less of yourself; it's about thinking of yourself less. It's about recognizing that you don't have all the answers and that you can benefit from the perspectives and insights of others. When leaders listen to the ideas of others, they open themselves up to new possibilities and opportunities. They show respect for their team members and create a sense of collaboration and mutual respect. Listening to the ideas of others is not always easy. It requires leaders to set aside their egos and be willing to consider viewpoints that may differ from their own. However, when leaders approach the creative process with an open mind, they are able to tap into the collective wisdom of the team and come up with truly innovative solutions. By fostering a culture of humility and openness, leaders can inspire creativity and drive success.- Leading with humility and listening to the ideas of others is about creating an environment where everyone feels empowered to contribute their best work. It's about recognizing that great ideas can come from anyone, regardless of their position or title. When leaders embrace this mindset, they can unlock the full potential of their team and achieve amazing results.
