-> The Roadmap Will Restrict Your Thinking
Approach the future as a open opportunity to end up outside of your initial plans. The goal isn't to land where you set out to, but to find out where you want to go as you move. The pyramid that Catmull draws for the Head of HR, Ann Le Cam, shows that the problem space of a plan has to allow for zig-zagging and even landing outside of the triangle.
-> Independent and Capable
Keeping Disney Animation and Pixar separate and independent was essential to giving each studio the confidence to solve problems on their own. Both studios asked to use the other's resources when they struggled with production problems. But the insistence that help would not be coming not only forced them to innovate to a solution, but proved that they were capable of doing so. Being responsible fostered a sense of personal ownership and pride amongst the teams.
-> Personal Connection
Support your team with personal gratitude for the team's contributions, for everyone at the studio made it possible. Pixar believes that each film belongs to everyone, and that "ideas can come from anywhere". People value the personal gesture and delivery of thanks.
