Healthy Creative Ministry
Are missed deadlines just part of working with creatives?
What’s your question about communications?
Creatives shouldn't miss deadlines.
It's weird to me that this feels like a hot take, but it does. I've met many creatives that are either fine with it or blame everyone else and I've met many non-creatives who assume it's just part of the deal. You want creativity, you get uncertainty.
But that just isn't true. If missing deadlines is the only reliable part of working with creatives in your organization, it's time to solve the real problem.
