Trust and Collaboration

HOW CAN YOU GET TRUST?
Managers can: 1. Hire Talented People 2. Open the Lines of Communication 3. Encourage collaboration
“If you give a good idea to a mediocre team, they will screw it up; if you give a mediocre idea to a great team, they will either fix it or throw it away and come up with something that works.”
Ed Catmull, Pixar

NEXT INGREDIENT FOR CREATIVITY: COLLABORATION
We are more creative when we collaborate!
Examples include: C.S. Lewis & J.R.R Tokien were
members of a weekly literary group. Thomas Edison had a group of
assistants.
