Overall, this was an excellent book. There were some parts that felt a little smug and some that felt like the author was merely quoting cliched management advice, but overall this was a great read. The book combines intriguing and sometimes inspiring insights into how to build and manage a creative team with the author's professional memoirs as a founder and leader of Pixar. If you're looking for a candid and straightforward read on management, or just a nifty story about a groundbreaking company like Pixar, this is for you.
