What's people's secret for working with a team member (e.g. art director if you're a copywriter, copywriter if you're an art director) whose style you just clash with? Do you try to gut it out and just focus on the work, or do you try to get management to switch it up? I usually get along well with other team members, but occasionally there's just that one where it doesn't feel like it's working.

Advocate for a long-term partner and the qualities you look for in them. Do your best to do the job well with whoever you’re paired with for now, but tell a manager you trust that your work would be even better with a partner with whom you could have real creative chemistry. It’s a game changer.
