In this team training current and aspiring leaders will learn the foundations of leadership for creative teams. From understanding why leadership is important, to knowing what style works for your team, this 2-part online training covers the core topics at the heart of leadership in an engaging and hands-on way.
Despite being misunderstood and overused, for agencies ‘Creative Leadership’ has become a battle waged across two fronts: on the client-facing side, it’s solving increasingly challenging problems from more demanding clients; on the internal-facing side, it’s getting teams aligned and motivated, and nurturing talent, often with increasing pressures and constraints. And while the theory is catching up to the practice, the gap between the two is still vast, presenting a business risk for agencies.
In this Masterclass, we start with the practitioner’s lens: learnings from two decades of being on the tools and running agencies. We’re answering the three practical questions: 1) why is creative leadership so important, 2) what are the skills and mindsets needed to succeed at it, and 3) how can agency folk put it into practice as part of their work routines.
The masterclass is split across two punchy sessions. Your team will hear practical experience of the trainers' learnings, participate in shared and dynamic tasks and reflect on their learnings. In doing so, they’ll gain a better understanding of the discipline, how to apply it in their work, and take home some practical tools to keep honing their inner creative leader.

Those tasked with leading a team in an agency

By the end of this Masterclass your team will:

A brilliant reminder of why we got into the biz in the first place. And a great poke in the tired brain with the imagination stick.
It was truly beneficial. I also really enjoyed connecting with the rest of the M&C leaders and exploring each of our own strengths and weaknesses and desires in leading our teams and overall creative output in the future. Now we have to all act on what we learnt.
Ron and Wade are amazing window openers - they let the fresh air in and let the stale ad stuff out.
