Leadership Lessons: Pixar's Ed Catmull on the Office Environment

  

 

Submitted by: Matt Quin

 

This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending Ecofest at the local Komoka Community Centre. This event brought together passionate, community-minded folks who volunteered their time to teach us about green initiatives, wildlife rescue, and volunteer opportunities.  I was struck by how much an individual can do to protect and enhance our green spaces and community. 

 

This event also got me thinking about other environments that we share and how we can make them more sustainable and enriching.  One such place not to be overlooked is our work environment. 


 
Just as CO, acid rain and global warming dramatically impact our health, so too do acidic personalities, a lack of trust, or a shortage of creativity. 


 


 
Continuing with our goal of featuring great reads in Connect, I would like to suggest that you visit your local library and pick up Creativity Inc. by Ed Catmull and Amy Wallace.
