The secret can be summed up in one word: connection.</p>
<p>An article I wrote on the topic has been featured in the Economic Times, India&#8217;s premier daily business publication. Be sure to read <a title="Economic Times article on Pixar" href="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/features/corporate-dossier/animated-leadership-how-catmull-co-created-a-culture-that-consistently-makes-great-films/articleshow/36121928.cms" target="_blank">Animated Leadership: How Catmull &amp; Co. Created a Culture that Consistently Makes Great Films </a>and share your thoughts in the comments.</p>
<p>What lessons from Pixar&#8217;s culture will you apply to your own organization?</p>
