Ed Catmull and Amy Wallace's 2014 account of how Pixar built a creative organization — covering the Braintrust, the dailies process, the principle of 'be wrong as fast as you can,' and the specific mechanisms for maintaining a candid, high-trust creative culture.
Creates the most detailed account of building creative organizational culture — Catmull's specific mechanisms (the Braintrust has no authority, only the director can accept or reject notes; the dailies normalize vulnerability) provide a template for creative team management.
