🦉 Five Quotes for Reflection from Disney CEO, Robert Iger
“Curiosity… The path to innovation begins with curiosity.”
—
“Managing creativity is an art, not a science.”
—
“Empathy is a prerequisite to the sound management of creativity, and respect is critical.”
—
“People sometimes shy away from taking big swings because they assess the odds and build a case against trying something before they even take the first step. One of the things I've always instinctively felt… is that long shots aren’t usually as long as they seem.”
—
“When you innovate, everything needs to change, not just the way you make or deliver a product. Many of the practices and structures within the company need to adapt.”

📰 Article Worthy of a new Read
Art As An Encounter by Daniel Vargas Gómez
Favorite passages:
“Any work of art poses a great challenge to spectators: the challenge is to fully understand and appreciate that the whole value of what’s presented to them cannot be reduced to a single cause alone, be it pleasure, politics, mathematics, or whatever.”
—
“the creative process is non-objective. This means that it is impossible for anyone to describe the artistic creative process through a series of events that have to take place in order for an artistic creation to appear, and hence not generalizable in nature. In common language, there is just no recipe for making art; and not only does such a recipe not exist, it can’t exist. This is one reason why an artist creates while an entrepreneur produces, and why we don’t have factories for paintings as we have for prints.”
—
“Society as a whole has become so short-sighted that spiritual reality is imagined by many in the same way we imagine fairy tales, as bearing no direct relation to everyday life.”
Until next time,
