“The fascinating thing about the studio was that there was no story department. They would put a little notice up on the bulletin board saying: 'The next Oswald will take place at the North Pole. Anybody having any gags, please turn them in before such a date.' If you turned in gags regularly, the way Tex Avery, Cal Howard, Jack Carr and two or three others of us did, you'd be called into the gag meeting. The group would go into Walt's office and talk about whatever the subject of the cartoon was. Walt would put it into some kind of form and that was the story--no scripts, no storyboards.” IfsWayKindLittlesTwoStoriesFormTurnsThreeNextGroupsSubjectsPleaseOfficeMeetingsScriptsStudiosBoardsDepartmentFascinatingCartoonWaltGagsNorth PoleBulletin Board Author:Walter Lantz
“It's my greatest success. Women did not vote in Italy until 1946. A good friend and I put together a group of women to protest this. I was very young, just a girl. We went to the Viminale [home of the Ministry of the Interior] and spoke to the chair of the ministry board. Thanks to our initiative, we got the bureaucracy rolling on giving women the right to vote. I have to thank my father for this. He was in Geneva at the League of Nations, and women voted there. He thought it was absurd that women didn't vote in his country yet.” GivingCountryHomeTogetherYoungGirlFatherNationsGroupsVoteAbsurdThanksLeagueBoardsChairsProtestSpokesInitiativeMinistryRollingGood FriendBureaucracyInteriorsRight To VoteGenevaGreatest SuccessJust A GirlLeague Of Nations Author:Giovanna Cau

“The Open Market Committee, as presently established, is plainly not in the public interest. This committee must be operated by purely public servants, representatives of the people as a whole and not any single interest group.

“A good leader has a plan that consists of changing simple pictures. Just because a group of people has a bunch of boards, hammers, and nails does not mean that they are building a house or even anything recognizable. Sometimes leaders think they are doing their job just because there is a lot of hammering going on. As a society we like the sound of hammering, but we are uncomfortable with the sound of thinking, which is silence.” PeopleThinkingMeanDoeSometimesJobsHouseSoundLeadershipSimpleSilenceLeaderPlansGroupsBuildingBunchUncomfortableBoardsNailsHammersGood Leader Book:Jesus, CEO: using ancient wisdom for visionary leadership Source: Jesus, CEO: using ancient wisdom for visionary leadership
“Many cults start off with high ideals that get corrupted by leaders or their board of advisors who become power-hungry and dominate and control members lives.

“As an artist - I'm sure like most creative people - you have a kind of board of directors that you make your work for.

“Noah Baumbach does more takes than any director I've ever worked with. He runs a very quiet set and he runs a very hard working set. He has such an intense level of dedication to what's happening that he cultivates a group of people around him who have an equal level of dedication. Nobody asks, "When is lunch?" That's just not part of our sets. It's complete immersion. He has a 'no cell phone' rule. Nobody checks their cell phone. Nobody reads on set. It's like, "If you're there, you're there. If you're not on board with that, don't work on this movie."” PeopleIfsDoeHardRunningAsksLevelsGroupsHard WorkQuietDirectorsEqualHappeningsPhonesIntenseChecksCellsBoardsLunchDedicationCell PhoneImmersion Author:Greta Gerwig
“When you think of diversity, George Duke fits that bill better than a lot of people. He's played a lot of straight-ahead jazz with people like Nancy Wilson and Cannonball Adderley; he's played a lot of fusion with his own groups, with Stanley Clarke; and, you know, he did the rock thing with Frank Zappa. He's written all kinds of big arrangements for people like Burt Bacharach. So, he's covered the board. He's still a great pianist.” PeopleThinkingKnowsKindStillsBigsWrittenGroupsRocksFitDiversityBillsJazzAll KindsBoardsCoveredFrankArrangementsDukesPianistWilsonFusionNancyStanleyZappaCannonballs Author:Christian McBride
