Creative work needs a different kind of leadership. It is not about rigid business models. It is about influence, timing and trust. Brandon Kirby has spent years leading global creative and marketing teams and has helped develop leaders at one of Europe’s top business schools. Now he shares that experience with you.
Why This Course Matters
The wrong leadership style suffocates ideas, slows progress and leaves teams drained of energy. Creative people need space to explore, but they also need guidance and trust to give their best work.
The right leadership does the opposite. It creates energy instead of blocking it. It helps people take risks without fear. It turns conflict into growth. Most importantly, it builds trust, which is the foundation of every strong creative team.
In the music industry leadership is never about hierarchy. It is about people. It is about knowing when to step forward with direction and when to step back and let others shine.
