Yesterday I posted an article sent by Scott Hull (written by John Maeda) about why leaders need to act more like artists. I tweeted a link to the article and @pmull responded:
"Now we need an article on why artists should act like leaders!"
Great point.
Here are a few thoughts about what leading as an artist means:
1. I speak my mind and fight for ideas but refuse to play the “victim” when my idea doesn’t win out.
2. I do what’s in the best interest of the team and the project, even when it costs me something.
3. I do the little things that matter even when I could feasibly cut corners.
4. I stretch myself to see things from new points of view.
5. I think strategically, even when I don’t have all the information I want.
6. I don’t point fingers, talk trash or assign blame behind closed doors.
7. I have something that guides my creating beyond comfort and preference.
What else?
