, you’ll enjoy Catmull’s book about putting 10x into practice. He draws from the success – and failures – of Pixar to teach us how to lead creative teams.

Ed Catmull helped start Pixar Studios, the legendary creators of films like Toy Story and the Incredibles. With all the hits they have produced, it's little surprise that culture has played a HUGE role in their success. In this book Catmull shares what he did to foster and preserve an incredible, creative-friendly culture not just at Pixar, but also to turn around a Disney animation studio that was crumbling. As if that wasn't enough, he has an added chapter on what working with Steve Jobs for over 25 years was really like.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
