How can you motivate your market research team to do better? I believe coming up with a brilliant campaign takes in-depth insights from stellar research but I feel my team is always lackadaisical.

I'd like to know from the other creative directors (agencies) on the bowl - how much emphasis and time do you allot for your art team to edit and recoup their work. I've faced resistance as well as massive success in getting my creative team to EDIT their work, but I've also heard it's very demoralizing. What's your stance?
