Quote: Fix problems don’t plan to prevent
One of the companies I follow regarding business ideas is 37 signals. They have a really great blog that offers great views on how to succeed in business. Their most recent post provides a quote from one of the top guys at Pixar.
I’ve posted the quote below but I suggest you visit the post on their site too as they have a great community of people that add loads of comments to every post they put live. Enjoy!
“We all know the saying it’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission. And everyone knows that, but I think there is a corollary: If everyone is trying to prevent error, it screws things up. It’s better to fix problems than to prevent them. And the natural tendency for managers is to try and prevent error and overplan things.”
Ed Catmull, President of Pixar
