Description:
You’ll often hear creative leaders describe their job as ‘Herding cats’. Why is that? Does it do a disservice to the talent on your teams? Large or small, game teams combine a myriad of creative and technical roles. With such a broad range of often opinionated, passionate, and dedicated personalities, how do you control the creative chaos that often ensues? In this session we will explore some of the factors that are influential in whether a team is collaborating successfully or not.  This session is designed for anyone and everyone on a creative team, and we’ll look at these challenges from three distinct perspectives on your team, the leaders, the managers, and the members of the team themselves, and discuss ten simple rules for encouraging constructive collaboration.
