At least that's what happened to my husband. I wonder how often that really does happen? It never seemed like his leader understood him. Everything was a struggle between them and his leader was always trying to keep him in a box. He's working back in a secular job where his creativity is very much valued. It was a painful experience for our entire family, but we learn from every moment in life. It's truly sad that his "boss" never really understood him. Maybe creative people that do their "creating" for a living should stay away from jobs in ministry? Or maybe they should interview the leaders that "think" they want creative people on their team!!! …and sometimes creative people get fired. At least that’s what happened to my husband.

First, love the post. Do more on creativity! Second, in regards to #4, I agree that it's better to 'can it' appropriately rather than abruptly. But in our creative culture, we've had to sometimes (unapologetically) be abrupt. An extreme example was 9/11. We didn't have time to slowly 'can' the creative moments our team had put together. We abruptly did. And thankfully had a creative culture already in place where its understood that sometimes our work will be abruptly changed. Hope its not too late for me to weigh in.

Found myself wishing some of the people over me understood some of these, and also had to examine if I did this with people I lead (Ouch). Hard to remember that just as much as you want the freedom to be creative, you have to give that freedom to those in your team. Great stuff man.

I wish our leaders knows this before their hire stupid managers who doesn't have the foggiest idea about what a "creative" is and how creative people work and gel as a team. To Brian, Creative people are never worried - just challenged and excited coz' we are free spirits. Technical guys are the ones who are always worried. Hi Tony,
