In this episode with Gary Molander, we explore what actually protects (or kills) creativity inside teams. From being careful who you invite into early dreaming stages to understanding psychological safety, clarity, and when critique should enter the room, this conversation unpacks how healthy creative cultures are built. If you lead a team or carry a vision, this episode will challenge how you structure the process and who gets a seat at the table.
