How to resolve Disputes, defuse difficult Situations and reach Agreement

STEP 1

Start the conversation with your team and take the initiative to be a part of our success. Use the getAbstract “Herding Tigers” to get started.

STEP 2

Schedule a team meeting to discuss the questions.

STEP 3

Have a discussion with your team or reflect on the questions.

Discussion Questions:

What are some common misconceptions about creative individuals, and how can understanding the true nature of creativity benefit team
dynamics?
Can you share an example of a leadership strategy that successfully empowered a creative team or individual?
What role does understanding the creative process play in effective leadership?
In what ways can leaders foster an environment that balances stability with the challenge necessary for creative work?

Take away:

Leading creative people requires strategic leadership skills. Todd Henry, founder of
Accidental Creative, says many people working in leadership positions lack the mindset to steer creative teams, and that undermines corporate efforts to retain skilled talent.

“If your only measure of success is whether you crossed the finish line on time and under budget, or whether the client is pleased, you might very well hit your objectives while destroying your team in the process.”
