The ability to be creative is one of those things that people often assume you either have or you don’t. Certainly I believe that we might express our creativity differently; I, for example, am no good at drawing. However, I think we are all able to make new things and come up with innovative ideas. The key is getting the setup right. In other posts I have discussed how the right office environment can help and how we can wreck creativity. This post gives a simple list of 8 mindsets that were gleaned from a blogger’s trip around Pixar Animation Studios. The original post gives more detail on each point and is worth a read.
Here is the list:
- Tenacity matters
- Art is your particular telling of reality
- Feed off others’ ideas
- Let go of ego
- Everyone should know the mission well
- Lots of hard work, tiny but amazing results
- Surround yourself heroes
- Help those just starting out
