My Creative Directors, who are strong copywriters, are really struggling to collaborate with Art Directors. Are there programs or classes that teach creative collaboration and the creative process?

So many thoughts. You have to be emotionally and psychologically open to true collaboration before you can get better at it. Are they interested in getting better? Do they get why it's valuable?

One of the CDs gets it and is actively working towards improvement. The other CD, who is more Sr in title, has not shown openness to improving. I believe it’s part ego and part not wanting to show he’s incapable of leading. Upper management is asking me to find Art Director talent that can work with him, however he doesn’t respect their process and is not open to improving. This isn’t something that can be swept under the rug because it’s now actively hurting business. And fingers are being pointed at me since I resource for my team. How would you suggest I handle, either with him or upper management? Any thanks!

Well, you might tell whoever is asking you to find ADd who can work with him that they're better off just letting him go and hiring a team. Lol

iAD in Europe may be good. iAB here in the US out of NYC may be a conduit, not sure directly though. There are for sure some great courses and you may want to ask Marvel (a prototyping tool or people at Canva), many of these platforms are thriving on education to gain customers and build trust.

Hi everyone. Is it typical for the attorney to take credit for the work a paralegal does? An example: I gave some ideas about deposition questions and some observations I made (I was asked about giving suggestions) regarding a witness and the attorney mentioned that he’s the one that had these great questions/observations. Zero credit or thank you for the work I did.

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?

Our annual reviews are approaching & one of my direct reports has been with us for almost six years w/ little growth. My reco was to let him go & find a stronger, hungrier & more motivated designer at the same level. However, my boss instead wants us to promote him in hopes that will spark some motivation. I am not behind this decision & have voiced my multitude of concerns in promoting an employee who doesn't deserve it. HR is behind the decision! Thoughts on promoting an undeserving report?

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
