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.

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?

Hi everyone!

After years of hard work, I just got my first position in a leadership role! Yay! I’ll be leading a team of 12.
I wanted to know if you had any tips for me, things you wish you knew before, or things previous leaders did for/to you that you found admirable or stayed with you. I want to make sure I’m there for them and want to be a leader they will remember positively.

Thank you so much!!

Looking for thoughts and opinions about HR involvement in employee promotions. More specifically passing up an experienced employee for not having a college degree. We have an employee in our office, who applied for a promotion and despite having a degree, would be a perfect fit. Several supervisors recommended this employee for the position but HR denied the promotion for lack of a degree. I have a graduate degree and I still feel that experience is sometimes more valuable. Thoughts?

Would you feel comfortable telling HR that your service line’s culture sucks and name the individuals who cause it?
