Book excerpt: Nita Leland's memoir, Born Creative, is meaningful to anyone who yearns to be more creative while coping with a topsy-turvy family life. Born Creative begins with a bright-eyed, hopeful child's longing to be an artist. When Nita's well-meaning parents insist that she focus on teaching English, her desire to be an artist fades away. Will she ever recover her passion to paint? Nita marries her high school sweetheart and they move four thousand miles from Ohio to Issoudun, a village near Chateauroux Air Force base in France. Nita experiences extreme culture shock, as she struggles to overcome isolation and improve her pathetic domestic skills. Explorations in Bob's sports car open her eyes to the beautiful French countryside. After returning to Ohio, Bob finishes law school while Nita adopts the 1960s lifestyle of the feminine mystique. She is a frazzled, stay-at-home mother of four kids-cooking, ironing and driving carpools-sleepwalking in suburbia. Thinking she needs a hobby, her husband surprises her with an unexpected gift-a little black paint box filled with watercolor paints. In Born Creative, discover how art triumphs over housekeeping! The message is unmistakable. If you dare to dream, release the creative spirit you were born with and let it soar.

Download or read book Creativity Inc The Expanded Edition written by Ed Catmull and published by Random House. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The co-founder and longtime president of Pixar updates and expands his 2014 New York Times bestseller on creative leadership, reflecting on the management principles that built Pixar’s singularly successful culture, and on all he learned during the past nine years that allowed Pixar to retain its creative culture while continuing to evolve. “Might be the most thoughtful management book ever.”—Fast Company For nearly thirty years, Pixar has dominated the world of animation, producing such beloved films as the Toy Story trilogy, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Up, and WALL-E, which have gone on to set box-office records and garner eighteen Academy Awards. The joyous storytelling, the inventive plots, the emotional authenticity: In some ways, Pixar movies are an object lesson in what creativity really is. Here, Catmull reveals the ideals and techniques that have made Pixar so widely admired—and so profitable. As a young man, Ed Catmull had a dream: to make the first computer-animated movie. He nurtured that dream as a Ph.D. student, and then forged a partnership with George Lucas that led, indirectly, to his founding Pixar with Steve Jobs and John Lasseter in 1986. Nine years later, Toy Story was released, changing animation forever. The essential ingredient in that movie’s success—and in the twenty-five movies that followed—was the unique environment that Catmull and his colleagues built at Pixar, based on philosophies that protect the creative process and defy convention, such as: • Give a good idea to a mediocre team and they will screw it up. But give a mediocre idea to a great team and they will either fix it or come up with something better. • It’s not the manager’s job to prevent risks. It’s the manager’s job to make it safe for others to take them. • The cost of preventing errors is often far greater than the cost of fixing them. • A company’s communication structure should not mirror its organizational structure. Everybody should be able to talk to anybody. Creativity, Inc. has been significantly expanded to illuminate the continuing development of the unique culture at Pixar. It features a new introduction, two entirely new chapters, four new chapter postscripts, and changes and updates throughout. Pursuing excellence isn’t a one-off assignment but an ongoing, day-in, day-out, full-time job. And Creativity, Inc. explores how it is done.
