A manager should let their staff shine. Sometimes I think my function is to protect them from themselves and others but to stay out of their way. A managers should not be threatened if their staff is better at some skills than they are. one thing clients are not staff.

Your desire to execute is deflated because you no longer own anything thanks to the misguided idea that the readers will somehow notice a slight improvement in quality.” This is so true. I remember being in a job where my boss would rephrase anything I wrote to end up with the exact same sentence 6 to 7 rephrasings later. I mean, talk about a motivation killer.

This sometimes happens in music, bands and its bad, there has to be an author, leader, dictator when creating. If not it gets somehow more mediocre. Also everyone thinks they are best at everything, human nature I guess. Good post Sno This is a somekind of a democratic flaw, everyone has to have a say.

As freelance designer, my work is for sh*t. Nobody leaves anything alone and consequently, after one or two perfunctory fights by me, the tree that has been peed upon dies. I have NOTHING in my portfolio from the last five years. The creative director who can provide input without specific instruction is not in my client list. Point out the flaws, certainly, but let me solve the problem. Another way to put this? The person holding the wheel should drive the car or we won't go as quickly, safely, gracefully or directly where we intended to go. I LOVE you for writing this. Thanks for the sanity read, Rob.
