INC.COM Blog References Innovate the Pixar Way

Question: How do you draw the line between morale boosting and time wasting?  There are close to 200 of us now, and we are having a birthday party almost every other day.  It was fun when it started with just 17 of us, but now it is getting a bit too much.  I don’t know how to tone it down though, without hurting someone’s feelings.  Have any ideas?

Blogger Answer:  The helping of others is just one of the many morale boosters and is so subconscious that your 200 employees may not even realize it’s happening.  A great resource for learning how to create a work environment that is both fun and productive is to study Pixar. There’s actually a book called Innovate the Pixar Way:  Business Lessons from the World’s Most Creative Corporate Playground.  As a leader, it’ll raise your eyebrows at least a dozen times.
