Leadership in Creative Projects
We’re back for part two of our deep dive into the softer (but no less vital) side of filmmaking - leadership, management, and all things organisation.
If you’ve ever wondered how to strike the balance between managing a project and becoming that micromanager, this one’s for you.
We unpack how trust, empathy, boundaries, and delegation can transform a chaotic set into a smooth, respectful, and actually enjoyable working environment. Plus, a reminder that leadership isn't about being the boss - it’s about showing up, communicating well, and being someone your team can trust.
No matter your role, you’ve got what it takes to lead with kindness and clarity.
Here are the highlights:
Defining and Understanding Micromanagement (1:57)
Collaboration and Empathy in Management (3:20)
Pre-Production and Time Management (10:45)
Delegation and Trust in Leadership (20:59)
Empathy and Mediation in Team Dynamics (31:18)
Investing in Relationships and Building Trust (42:11)
