Great video of a talk by Randy Nelson, the Dean of Pixar University.

His points about how the ground rules of improv apply to work are facinating.

First, "accept every offer." Say "yes, and..."

Second, always make your partner look good (something that we already believe and practice pretty well here at McKinney).

I also love what he has to say about the importance of hiring people who have failed and been resilient. Stay away from people who seek to avoid failure at all costs.

Who knew Pixar had a University? And where do I sign up?!
