It's not the story, the people, the technology, it's the team

I was directed to the blog of Amir Salihefendic, and i bounced into this gem:

Finally, these are the operating principals of Pixar as quoted by Catmull:
  • constant review
  • it must be safe for people to tell the truth
  • communication should not mirror the organizational structure
  • people and how they function is more important than ideas
  • do not let success mask problems, do a deep assessment
  • mix up creative and technical people
So it's not the story, the people, the technology, it's the team, but remember: 
"Once one can articulate an important idea into a concise statement, then one can use the statement and not have to have a fear of changing behavior." (Ed Catmull, pixar).

Maybe I should read the pixar book that's on my reading list for some time now.
