Leadership 7

Inspired by an article by Nicholas Bate from Tanmay Vora’s website.

What does it mean to be a leader?
How do you become one?

Leadership skills are such an integral part of being a creative professional.

We all need the ability to rally people around an idea or vision - share that with other designers. It's a call to arms to get sh*t done!

Remember...
"leadership is a mindset, not a job title"
-Nicholas Bate

Key takeaway:
Model the behaviours you want!

This is how humans learn — by copying something someones else does.

It’s also how master craftsman and artists of old use to teach others their skills and craft.

Don’t be afraid to use the same technique, it’s really very effective.

It also allows you to focus in on the content of what you learn, rather than how you are going to but your own ‘spin’ on it.
