On any given day a leader is a mentor, cheerleader, listener, or critic.
Being a creative leader starts with the foundations of Standards, Process, and Training. I’ve redesigned three major magazines, launched three new magazines, and led designers to create hundreds of books, and they all started with well-documented design systems in the form of style guides and workflow maps. These tools–along with the mentoring, cheerleading, listening, and critiquing–help designers do their very best work.
