Most managers try to "fix" challenging talents...
The smart ones learn to decode them.
When I started leading high-performing creative teams at companies like Rodeo FX and then supporting managers at ScanlineVFX (Netflix), I thought empathy and rules would be enough.
Reality check:
- Talent come wrapped in duct tape and ambition.
- Neurodivergent brilliance clash with traditional systems.
- Leadership required more than process, it demanded translation between worlds.
You don’t “manage” creativity.
You learn to harness it, …without destroying it.
That’s why I wrote “Beyond Normal”:
A practical guide to managing brilliant, intense, sensitive, or simply “different” minds, without losing your team or your sanity.
📖 Inside, you’ll find 4 tactics, 4 real-world examples, scripts you can steal, and a decision tree when your brain freezes mid-crisis.
👉 If you’re leading neurodivergent or high-intensity creatives (or want to), get your guide HERE
(No spam. No pitch. Just value.)
This might be your new unfair advantage.
