Creative Minds

Art

Excellent post over here from Access Elevation on working with "creatives."  Whether you consider yourself one, or you work with or over one, go check it out.  Here’s my favorite one:

Creatives don’t work like you do. If you walk by
and see your designer (or web developer or motion graphics designer or
video editor) surfing the web looking at YouTube videos, making weird
sounds to themselves, playing air guitar or air drums, eating unhealthy
amounts of any kind of candy or laying on the ground staring at the
ceiling…let them do it. Sometimes that’s what it takes to get to where
you want them to go. (Disclaimer: If they never hit any deadlines,
maybe you need to reel them back in a little bit. But if they deliver,
trust them to do what they need to do to be their best.)

We admit it…we are a different breed!
