Ed Catmull Bücher

Für jedes Unternehmen stehen Innovation und Kreativität ganz oben auf der Wunschliste. Doch nur wenige schaffen es, immer wieder Neues zu entwickeln. Pixar ist eines dieser Unternehmen. Die Pixar Animation Studios schreiben seit über 25 Jahren Erfolgsgeschichte mit Blockbustern wie „Toy Story“, „Findet Nemo“, „Cars“ und vielen mehr. Ed Catmull, einer der Gründer von Pixar, gibt in seinem Buch tiefe Einblicke in die Unternehmensführung und das Management dieses außergewöhnlichen Unternehmens. Er zeigt, wie man mit Unsicherheit umgeht, zerstörerische Kräfte überwindet – und warum man viel mehr erreicht, wenn man den Mitarbeitern Freiheit gibt, statt sie zu kontrollieren.

How do senior leaders describe the most effective leaders who drive results, foster growth, and cultivate a thriving culture? This book, grounded in innovative research, explores how leaders articulate the qualities that define effective leadership versus those that hinder an organization’s potential. In today’s volatile and dynamic business landscape, leadership must be adaptable and innovative—qualities embodied by High-Creative leadership. This type of leadership not only accelerates organizational growth but also transforms workplaces into agile and engaging environments. The research reveals that senior leaders can clearly distinguish between High-Creative and High-Reactive leadership, the latter of which undermines effectiveness and scalability. The book outlines how to scale your leadership by enhancing your unique strengths, improving your leadership ratio, and fostering High-Creative leaders within your organization. By implementing this framework, organizations can amplify agile and scalable leadership, driving growth, productivity, and innovation. Creative leaders extend their influence beyond mere technical skills by cultivating deep relationships, exhibiting radical humanity, and demonstrating passion and integrity.
