100 WORDS - 8/1/18 - RESPECT FOR THE CREATIVE PROCESS
What many leaders of non-profit organizations, board members, and executive leaders in the corporate world share is a need for better communication with the creatives in their organizations.
When you ask artists to collaborate, to truly partner, you can't pull the rug out from under them. They need constants. When you ask someone to break down walls, to honestly and actively express their desires, needs and fears, you need to build a relationship that is based on trust.
Trust the creative process
It is essential that you have leaders in your organization who have the desire, the empathy and the shared vision to work with creatives.
