Rules are in place, fences in place, go crazy. And you let people like do their best, most fun, most joyous work. I really believe, and this isn't like revelatory, but I really believe that is the best way to work creatively within a group. Yeah.

and the reason this is relevant, and I don't want to jump the gun here, but the thing we're going to be talking about today very much came out of a world where because we had this really great system in place and then went out and just found the funniest people we could find to come make this thing with us, crazy things happen, like wonderful things happen that are just the result of just creative juices flowing and people feeling happy and free.

Someone said to me once, and I believe this is true, That in creative enterprises, everyone is either in survival mode or creative mode. And if you're in survival mode, like you're worried about your job, you don't feel safe in your place of work, there's a threat somewhere, you feel like you're not being listened to, whatever, no one can be creative.

And your job as like a manager of any kind at any level is to like flip that switch and get people back into creative mode where they feel like comfortable and warm and happy and safe. And that's when people do good work. And I think maybe the defining principle of Parks and Rec was that everyone was in creative mode all the time. We were in survival mode with outside forces.

Are we going to get canceled? Is this it? Are we done? But that's over there. We can control that. Within the fence that we put out for the show, we worked at all times to make sure everybody was in creative mode. And that's why crazy things like this happened.

That is correct. And for a very long time in Hollywood, I think especially, but it's not, this is not located only in Hollywood. This is everywhere. I think there's a belief sometimes that like, if something good results from a chaotic atmosphere, it's, then there's a weird response where it's like, well, this is the only way that something good can happen.

We got this good thing, and the process was chaos, so we better not try to fix the chaos. When a rational person would think, let's fix the chaos, and then there will be more opportunities for more creative things that will also cause less pain and suffering. That's what I just can't stand about Hollywood specifically. I think it's weirdly gotten better.
