Designers often morph into managers and leaders when they grow their team and start to employ others.
Often it’s a juggling act, one hand ‘on-the’tools’, the other wearing an art direction or studio management hat. That can be problematic because the role of managing and leading needs a completely different skill set to ‘doing’.
These materials will help build confidence in leading rather than 'doing'.
“Thanks for yesterday, great to get some clarity on the biz as always. Massive piece of the puzzle getting the code hire sorted, and thinking differently about approaching new industries.
Tim Meyer, Creative Director Atollon
“Yesterday was amazing. A huge thanks for your time, energy, expertise and passion. Our goal was to achieve some clarity, strategy and confirmation that we’re onto something that could be really great. We got all of that.”
Nancy Bugeja, Director, HM
