  a vision to guide the change through inspiration,
  and executes the change with the commitment of
  the members of the group
• They anchor their practice in ideas, values, and
  commitments, exhibit distinctive qualities of
  style and substance and can be trusted to be

  they lead.

  they speak and act that leaves the greatest
  imprint on others.

Ed Catmull

• Im still trying to figure out how this all works
  I dont know all the answers. We discuss,
  debate and everyone feels that they own the
  problems and solutions
• As leaders, we dont tell them what to do. We
  have a structure so they get their feedback from
  their peers they help each other
• A leaders job is to protect the dynamic in the
  room so that theyre honest with each other
• We may not always be flying, but at least we can
  fall with style
