Theme 36: Work

Há sempre uma tentativa de equilíbrio entre a ideia e a ideia que visualmente funciona. Isso é uma permanente dificuldade no trabalho de design, porque muitas vezes temos ideias que visualmente funcionam mil vezes melhor, mas que conceitualmente estão mais afastadas daquilo que deveria ser.

Organizations need to start to understand this shift in the world of work. This shift to the serial entrepreneur, this ship of shift to the independent contractor. Because if organizations are going to continue to be successful we've got to start to embrace this personalization of space.

Organizations really need to start to understand that personal interaction and the personalization of space is going to be really, really critical to their success as we move forward.

Understand the breadth of the type of talent within an organization is really, really critical.

Making sure the space is agile is a really, really critical part of it. It flexes, it changes, it adapts to the needs of an organization.

Start to think about the social disconnects of work and how miserable it can make you. Making sure there's that social cohesion is a critical part of it.

Focus- because that is really the rhythm of work if you think about it.

Socialization is a huge part of work. It used to be frowned on, it was the water cooler talk- oh those people over there gossiping. It's a critical critical part of how we've actually built trust based relationships with each other.

25% of your daily satisfaction at work is make up of the actual physical environment that you reside in.

More brains make better projects.

Only together can we give it our all.

Strong relationships inspire great work.

Every project can make life better.

When you get to creative people, it is really about passion.

When I'm terrified, I'm probably on the brink of something that's pretty rad...

I'm not afraid to be afraid

La obsesión es una seguridad, un anhelo de perfección

Nosotros llevamos el trabajo como una soga al cuello

What I learned about conflict is that it's mostly about a mindset, and explicitly practicing conflict actually makes it bearable, and embracing it allowed me to take control of it.

Inserting conflict into these conversations and inserting these different opinions about what is right into a conversation can be more about learning as much as possible rather than motivated by winning the argument.

When you're designing to learn, it's important to present your customers with as many differentiated or opposing solutions as possible. The more clear those differences are, the stronger a response and a clearer response you can actually elicit from your customers.

Seeking out feedback from people is a sign of respect. You wouldn't want to hear what your enemy had to say unless you at least respected their opinion on some level.

Being comfortable with debate is actually one of the best ways that you can start to vet the strengths and weaknesses of your own ideas.

Once you know what you're fighting for, it's really important that you are able to express it well.

Agitating the creative process with a bit of thoughtful and conscientious conflict is actually very, very beneficial and it facilitates and encourages richer conversations to happen, not just with your peers, but with yourself.

I've been working at Netflix and Spotify where data is really embraced. And sometimes data and design are seen as opposing forces, things that are different from each other. But what I've actually found working at the intersection of these two worlds has actually helped to push my creative process forward.

When I became a manager, I came to find that engaging in conflict would have to become a natural part of my job and necessary.

Even if I have a great relationship with someone, the first time I think about having to approach them with some kind of potential conflict, I have a physical reaction, like someone is grabbing your stomach and simultaneously punching you in the heart.

Necesitamos aprender un lenguaje común. {…} Entender cómo podemos conversar para hacer que las cosas pasen.

Gran parte de trabajar es coordinar las acciones con otras personas. Con otros Perfiles.

Cuando más fomentemos que la gente tenga ideas, que las plasme y que intente llevarlas adelante, nos va a ser un país muchísimo más rico.

La forma en que se organiza el trabajo de una sociedad, y la forma -y posibilidad -que tiene la gente de esa sociedad de llevar adelante sus ideas, es el mayor tesoro de un país.

A veces, una idea utópica se transforma en la realidad

Trabajen sobre sus obsesiones, vale la pena.

Работайте с людьми доброго ума

"Working hard isn't just about feeling good about yourself; it's about honoring the people that are depending on you."

Satisfaction is as much a discipline of your mind as it is the reaction to your circumstance.

We are not going to have fresh ideas if we're just a bunch of white dudes with beards.

Good people bring out the good in people.

Kindness. It doesn't cost a thing. Sprinkle that shit everywhere.

For me, it was the ability to really connect and think critically about the world around us. And not telling people what to think, but encouraging us to question.

When an idea comes across my desk, I ask: could this be awesome? That's the new criteria.

I thought, how do I make this an awesome project? And then the thing that happened that was a bonus, was that that awesome wasn't an awesome for my portfolio, it wasn't an awesome for my reel. It was an awesome for somebody else.

Think about not what you can do, but what can be done.

Inspiration expires.

If you succeed or fail, at least you're going to have a story to tell.

Don't fight it. Find creative solutions.

That's how I got started: I hustled.

Solidarity is essential: yes I can have one idea as an individual, but when I join that together with other folks we can build something massive and incredible.

Not just what do we stand against, but what do we stand for? How do we express that through the arts, how do we start to manifest that through culture, through the stories that we tell?

There's some kind of gravity to the music that allowed us to feel more interconnected.

Lovework is the most ideal work: that work that, yes it can be hard, but it also feeds our soul.

You can access to something without owning it.

If you really want to have fun, working with something you love, you need to be an outlier.

There's a factor that's dramatically changing everything: time's speed.

No matter how successful you become, when your insecurities are the motivation of your work, you will never be satisfied.

Make, make, make, make, make. Release very, very little. And the little that gets released passes this test of quality, passes the test of excellence.

If you're not having fun here, you're doing it wrong. This whole space, everything we're doing here--money doesn't matter; time doesn't matter--art matters. Creating matters.

Those distractions--when you see them completely eliminated, and what you can make from that? Off the charts. Totally different world.

We demand payment for making the world more interesting.

It'll be our own insistence on our own worth that will create more opportunity, not less

A model that requires artists to work for free is fatal to a sustainable arts economy.

By undervaluing our own work, we participate in impoverishing not only ourselves, but also the greater community of artists by making it unsustainable for those who can't afford to work for free.

If we believe in the creative economy and want for art to be an economically viable profession, then we need to change the social expectations that artists give their work away for free.

Can we agree that not all exposure is good exposure?

Today's free work will serve as free advertising for some hypothetical person will pay you for at some point in the future.

In a digital age that has made it harder than ever for creatives to make a living, we are so often asked to work for free.

I have a mother whose motto is 'tell them you can do it and learn it by Tuesday.'

Don't chase the glory, work hard, and be satisfied.

I believe that our best work will come from accepting the reality that it's all dust in the end.

If you're authentic to yourself in what you do, if you do what you want to be when you grow up, you're going to be happy.

I have a dream, and my dream is that people, and especially the leaders of this world would be very aware of their own actions, very aware of what the consequences of these actions are.
