1. How Pixar Fosters Collective Creativity (Harvard Business Online)

   Behind Pixar’s string of hit movies, says the studio’s president, is a peer-driven process for solving problems.
   
   Pixar is a community in the true sense of the word. We think that lasting relationships matter, and we share some basic beliefs: Talent is rare. Management’s job is not to prevent risk but to build the capability to recover when failures occur. It must be safe to tell the truth. We must constantly challenge all of our assumptions and search for the flaws that could destroy our culture.

4. The Momentum Effect: Mobilising brainpower for efficient growth

   Instead of just trying to examine and resolve pathological behaviour, Kets de Vries says his aim is to make leadership "a little more effective, maybe more humane, (so that) it might have a positive effect on the organisation."
