FROM CREATIVITY, INC. BY ED CATMULL
“A HALLMARK 
OF A HEALTHY 
CREATIVE CULTURE 
IS THAT ITS PEOPLE 
FEEL FREE TO SHARE 
IDEAS, OPINIONS, AND 
CRITICISMS. LACK OF CANDOR, 
IF UNCHECKED, ULTIMATELY 
LEADS TO DYSFUNCTIONAL 
ENVIRONMENTS.” 
Photo: WALL-E / Disney Pixar (2008) FROM CREATIVITY, INC. BY ED CATMULL
“SEEK OUT

AS YOU CAN IS TO SIGN 
UP FOR AGGRESSIVE, 
RAPID LEARNING.” 
Photo: Cars / Disney Pixar (2006)

THIS STRATEGY—TRYING

OUT-THINKING IT— 
DOOMS YOU 
TO FAIL.” 
Photo: The Incredibles / Disney Pixar (2004) 
FROM CREATIVITY, INC. 
BY ED CATMULL
“TO BE A TRULY 
CREATIVE COMPANY, 
YOU MUST START 
THINGS THAT 
MIGHT FAIL.” 
Photo: Monsters University / Disney Pixar (2013) 
FROM CREATIVITY, INC. BY ED CATMULL
“THERE ARE TWO PARTS TO ANY FAILURE: 
THERE IS THE EVENT ITSELF, WITH ALL 
ITS ATTENDANT DISAPPOINTMENT, 
CONFUSION, AND SHAME, 
AND THEN THERE IS OUR 
REACTION TO IT. IT IS 
THIS SECOND 
PART THAT WE 
CONTROL.” 
Photo: Up / Disney Pixar (2009)

EMPLOYEES 
Photo: The Incredibles / Disney Pixar (2004)

WHY YOU HIRED THEM. 
SO TREAT THEM THAT WAY.” 
FROM CREATIVITY, INC. BY ED CATMULL
“RATHER THAN 
TRYING TO PREVENT 
ALL ERRORS, WE SHOULD 
ASSUME, AS IS ALMOST ALWAYS 
THE CASE, THAT OUR PEOPLE’S 
INTENTIONS ARE GOOD AND THAT 
THEY WANT TO SOLVE PROBLEMS.” 
Photo: Finding Nemo / Disney Pixar (2003) 
FROM CREATIVITY, INC. BY ED CATMULL
“OUR JOB IS TO 
PROTECT OUR 
[NEW IDEAS] FROM 
BEING JUDGED TOO 
QUICKLY. OUR JOB 
IS TO PROTECT 
THE NEW.” 
Photo: Ratatouille / Disney Pixar (2007) 
FROM CREATIVITY, INC. 
BY ED CATMULL
“PART OF OUR JOB 
IS TO PROTECT 
THE NEW FROM 
PEOPLE WHO DON’T 
UNDERSTAND THAT, IN 
ORDER FOR GREATNESS TO 
EMERGE, THERE MUST BE PHASES 
OF NOT-SO-GREATNESS.” 
Photo: Finding Nemo / Disney Pixar (2003) 
FROM CREATIVITY, INC. BY ED CATMULL
“MAKING 
SOMETHING 
GREAT IS 
THE GOAL.” 
Photo: WALL-E / Disney Pixar (2008) 
FROM CREATIVITY, INC. BY ED CATMULL
“THE SYSTEM IS TILTED TO FAVOR THE INCUMBENT. 
THE CHALLENGER NEEDS SUPPORT 
TO FIND ITS FOOTING. AND 
PROTECTION OF THE NEW 
—OF THE FUTURE, 
NOT THE PAST—

CONSCIOUS 
EFFORT.”

Photo: Inside Out / Disney Pixar (TBD: 2015)

BUT ALSO, TO MY MIND, 
YOU SHOULDN’T WANT TO. 
THERE IS NO GROWTH 
OR SUCCESS WITHOUT 
CHANGE.” 
FROM CREATIVITY, INC. 
BY ED CATMULL
“RANDOMNESS IS 
NOT JUST INEVITABLE; 
IT IS PART OF THE BEAUTY 
OF LIFE. ACKNOWLEDGING IT 
AND APPRECIATING IT HELPS US 
RESPOND CONSTRUCTIVELY 
WHEN WE ARE SURPRISED.” 
Photo: Brave / Disney Pixar (2012) 
FROM CREATIVITY, INC. BY ED CATMULL
“IF WE MAKE ROOM 
FOR IT INSTEAD

THE UNKNOWN CAN 
BRING INSPIRATION

CHANGE IS WHAT 
CREATIVITY IS ABOUT.” 
Photo: Monsters, Inc. / Disney Pixar (2001) 
FROM CREATIVITY, INC. BY ED CATMULL

WHAT IS UNSEEN AND 
UNDERSTAND ITS NATURE, 
YOU WILL BE 
ILL PREPARED 
TO LEAD.” 
Photo: Monsters, Inc. / Disney Pixar (2001) 
FROM CREATIVITY, INC. 
BY ED CATMULL

“I BELIEVE THAT 
WE ALL HAVE THE 
POTENTIAL TO SOLVE 
PROBLEMS AND EXPRESS 
OURSELVES CREATIVELY. WHAT

MISCONCEPTIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS 
THAT IMPEDE US WITHOUT 
OUR KNOWING IT.” 
Photo: Brave / Disney Pixar (2012) FROM CREATIVITY, INC. BY ED CATMULL

PEOPLE DISCOVER AND

STRUGGLE.” 
FROM CREATIVITY, INC. 
BY ED CATMULL
