Ed Catmull with Amy Wallace, creativity, inc., 2014 [ ]
p.26
My first meeting there was with a man named Bob Grindy, who ran George's personal construction projects--not exactly the qualifications you'd expect for a guy spearheading the search for a new computer executive. The first thing he asked me was, “Who else should Lucasfilm be considering for this job?” Meaning, the job I was there to interview for. Without hesitation, I rattled off the names of several people who were doing impressive work in a variety of technical areas.

"... because they love alot of things, they were willing to put up with stuff they didn't like. And I think this is one of the fundamental problems with company: Success hides problems. It happens to alot of us in our personal lives with our health. When we are healthy, we doing alot things that are bad for us, but our health let us get away with doing stuff that are bad for us, and years later the logic doesn't hold up, but we do that. It happens with a lot of companies. It happens with states, local, and national governments. When you are healthy and you have got the resources, you don't need to address the problems. ... they were actually very healthy and very strong. The problems were there and they did not have to look at them at that time. They let the success, and they were successful at that time, they let the success get in the way of diving deep and finding the problems.";--Ed Catmull-Pixar, keep your crises small, youtube.com

that's why you need a team that works well together
we had a developement department at the time
like the studio
its a group of people looking for ideas to make into movies
we went throught this, we realizes, we're thinking about it in the wrong way
the goal of development is not to find good ideas,
it's to put together teams of people that function well together
and that changed alter the way we thought about making movie
this development department is a support group
it's a failure only if you don't learn from it
it set the way we think about things
copying is a form of learning
37:18
rather than saying, first one is not successful, what can we do to make it successful (it's a failure only if you don't learn from it)
post mortem
there is a note taker
in preparing for it
there is a hand off
just having the discussion surfaces alot of things
