Smart Executive
He saw a picture in his mind. Before his
company began operating, he knew exactly what it would look like when it was
complete. The picture in his mind was as vivid and clear as the words you
see on the screen in front of you.
He could see the offices, the machines, the
employees working busily accomplishing goals and setting new standards. He
could see the satisfied customers as they shook hands with his associates.
Tom Watson could see the office he would
work from making vital decisions to help his dream progress.
Tom Watson knew exactly what he was going to
create. It was already real to him, he simply had to show the rest of the
world what was in his mind. And it all began as a picture, a visualization.

Disney Creativity Strategy
Walt Disney was true genius at turning
fantasies into reality.
Here is how Walt Disney describes his process
for creating stories: "The story man must see clearly in his own mind how
every piece of business in a story will be put. He should feel every
expression, every reaction. He should get far enough away from his story to
take a second look at it...to see whether there is any dead phase...to see
whether the personalities are going to be interesting and appealing to the
audience. He should also try to see that the things that his characters are
doing are of an interesting nature."...
