Words of wisdom... Brad Bird (PIXAR) on Morale

"In my experience, the thing that has the most significant impact on a movie's budget -but never shows up in a budget- is morale. If you have low morale, for every $1 you spend, you get about 25 cents of value. If you have high morale, for every $1 you spend, you get about $3 of value. Companies should pay much more attention to morale."
