The view that good ideas are rarer and more valuable than good people is rooted in a misconception of creativity.
Power to the Creatives
If you give a good idea to a mediocre team, they’ll screw it up. But if you give a mediocre idea to a great team, they’ll make it work.
Our philosophy is: You get great creative people, you bet big on them, you give them enormous leeway and support, and you provide them with an environment in which they can get honest feedback from everyone.
Everyone is fully invested in helping everyone else turn out the best work. They really do feel
that it’s all for one and one for all.
