Now is the time for Jazz Band Leaders to go to work!

Take a beat. Take a breath. And ask yourself... What do you need? Really?

Do not fall into the trap of thinking that your leadership, creativity, or your leadership of creativity is not needed at this time.

We might need to apologize for other things, but we'll never need to apologize for clarity. This Episode of The Leading Creative Podcast is brought to you by The Home Squad.

This Episode of The Leading Creative Podcast is brought to you by The Home Squad. OrlandoHomeSquad.com   How do you respond when someone tells you to stay in your lane? Have you ever told someone to stay in their lane? As Leaders of Creative, should we stay in our lanes? On this episode, I suggest a hybrid of a solution to this sharp phrase of stay in your lane.

Run your race, sure.  We've all heard that, and it's true and we should. But, as leaders of creative, we absolutely should not wait for the course to be planned by someone else in order to begin running. 

As Leaders of Creative we talk a really good game of how we prioritize and appreciate our people. But it's not enough that we talk about it, they have to actually feel it.

Sarcasm and Passive Aggression run far too rampant in our world of Leadership of Creativity.  It's high time we stop the cycle.

"Have a safe weekend!"  "Be safe out there!" "Have a safe day at work!" We hear it all the time. While I am all for Safety, I also believe it's a given. It's a rule of the game, but it is definitely not a strategy for winning. Safety is important, but it does not inspire. 

No matter what accomplishments we make, somebody always helps us. It's good to remember this every now and again.

The hard work of getting down off our pedestal and doing the work we are meant to be doing.

Bad ideas need no help presenting themselves as bad. So then, what do we do with bad ideas?

Bad leaders speak poorly of the competition. Good leaders never speak poorly of the competition. Great leaders, though, great leaders celebrate the competition.

One critical (and clarifying) question we need to ask before taking on or taking over a new project.

In Leadership, Grace & Truth go together. They are a pair.  Unfortunately, all too often we find ourselves letting the pendulum swing too far in favor of one over the other. 

When we overreach we find out what we don't yet know.

This week I continue my conversation with performer, director, creator, and owner of Odd-O-Ts' Entertainment, Todd Zimmerman.

Todd is a performer, director, creator, and owner of Odd-O-Ts' Entertainment. On this episode I talk with him about how he maintains Influence, as well as his creative process.

Change is inevitable when it comes to Leadership and Creativity. It's not if change is coming, it's when. On this episode we talk two strategies for Leading well through Change.

Last week we discussed Keystone Habits regarding Leadership.  This week, not so surprisingly on the Leading Creative Podcast, we'll be discussing Keystone Habits regarding Creativity.

Everyone has Keystone Habits, whether you know it or not. On this episode we discuss Keystone Habits when it comes to your Leadership.
