Calling all creatives! What’s your personal preferred style of communication? I’m switching into a PM type role and I want to make managing as seamless as possible so I’d like some input. Please give me some tips on how to best communicate with ~creative minds~.

Depends on the tools available and the team. There’s no one way to do things.

It’s different for everyone, I always ask the creatives:
-what kind of meeting structure they prefer (daily stand ups, weekly, 2x weekly, etc) also hot sheets! Daily/weekly
-how they best work through feedback
-if they want me to set up creative-only internals (before the main team) or if they’ll handle setting up
-if they need a little more checking in or are more self-sufficient with their priorities
-what kind of work they enjoy working on and what they’d like to learn!

Take these as you will but just a jumping off point.

All the above! I personally love daily/weekly hotsheets

Have due dates ready as soon as possible. Be honest, but explain. some creatives have really fragile egos. the good ones aren’t so precious about ideas, I’ll have another one, it’s fine. I just want an understanding of why things don’t work so I can fix it. Don’t send a million messages when we’re busy. I will go on Do Not Disturb. Please ask if I have time to chat before you call. Learn adobe file types. I think this would help if everyone in agencies would learn this. Overestimate how long things take. I’d love to get it in early if possible, makes us all look better. Hey, but thanks for asking. You’re going to crush it ❤️❤️

I work in field sales as an IC. My aspirational career path is to end up in people leadership.

Or should I continue down the field path and wait until those field management slots open up?

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
