Excerpts from The Quarterly's http://www.mckinseyquarterly.com (interview with Pixar Director Brad Bird).

The Quarterly: Engagement, morale–what else is critical for stimulating innovative thinking?

Brad Bird:The first step to achieving the impossible is believing that the impossible is can be achieved. There was a point during the making of the incredibles, where we had a company meeting. We have them about twice a year, and anybody can bring up concerns. Somebody raised their hand and said, " Is the Incredibles too ambitious?" Ed Catmull said, "I don't know" and looked over at me.

I just said, NO!, if there's one studio that needs to be doing stuff that is “too ambitious”, It's this one. You guys have had nothing but success, What do you do with it? You don't play it safe–You do something that scares you, that's at the edge of your capabilities, where you might fail. That's what gets you up in the morning".


The Quarterly: We've seen talking a lot about how you promote innovation. What undermines it?

Brad Bird: Passive-aggressive people–people who don't show their colors in the group but then get behind the scenes and peck away-are poisonous. I can usually spot those people fairly soon and I weed them out.

Brad Bird: Speaking personally, I want my films to make money, but money is just fuel for the rocket. What I really want to do is to go somewhere. I don't want to just collect more fuel.
