The Leading Creative Podcast

With such quick and easy access to leadership and creativity podcasts, books, blogs, articles, and conferences, some of us may have gotten too wrapped up in information and education that we lose sight of what makes every leader special and beautifully imperfect. Maybe we just might know a little too much.

On this episode of The Leading Creative Podcast I chat with speaker, author, and dreamer, Terry Weaver. We talk about his new book, Making Elephants Fly (available at TerryWeaver.com).

We also talk about starting things that are new, starting things that are yours, and whatever else your Thing is.

Come hang out with us in Orlando on May 17, 18, & 19 for his conference, TheThing.live.

Respect the chain of command as it leads up, sure. But we must also respect the chain of command as we lead down into the creative process.

In this episode I talk with Cole NeSmith, Executive & Creative Director of Creative City Project.

The final part in the three part series on Motivation, Purpose.

We all need to know that what we are working on is far bigger than us and will live beyond us.

Zeroing in on Purpose is the final ingredient on building toward and maintaining Motivation for you and the teams you lead.

We want to know we are great at what we do, or at least we're getting better. Are you, as the Leader of Creative, giving your team the tools they need to move toward Mastery?

This week on The Leading Creative Podcast, we begin a three part series on the topic of Motivation. Motivation to Lead and Motivation to Create.

Part I: Autonomy.

Creatives don't mind being told what to do, they mind being told how to do it.

Shalisa James is the President of Entertainment Central Productions. In this episode, Rob has a conversation with Shalisa regarding her leadership style and the intentionality behind their creative company culture.

Enjoy!

In this episode we talk about your energy. Taking responsibility for the energy you bring into any room, as well as some practical steps to take to bring and maintain your energy.

Values are just about the only thing a leader can call their own. This episode will give you some ideas, pointers, and a game plan to define, decide, and maintain your values.
