Creativity on Demand

As an event planner, who designs and orchestrates every type of event from corporate affairs to weddings, it’s my responsibility to put together and manage the individual creative teams that are contributing to the occasions. H

One of the greatest challenges of my job, yet one of its most rewarding aspects, is working with creative people on a day-to-day basis. I deal with a lot of high-profile, artistic individuals people who are extremely knowledgeable and well known in their own right. They are passionate and talented, curing and wonderful individuals who often have their own vision of how they want particular elements of events designed and executed. Therein lies the challenge. (9) .

When you are working with creative minds, it's crucial to keep them on track so they don't go off on tangents and disrupt the project's rhythm or production schedule. This means taking a very active management role. (10) . If needed, I will take the person aside and remind him that producing an event is a team effort and not a platform. for an individual to shine. If you can't get the creative team leaders to accept some kind of direction and parameters, then you must strongly consider removing them from the project and not hiring them in the future, however brilliant they are. (11) If I have a client who insists on hiring him, I decline the project.

At the same time, you do have to trust your most talented people. People in general always produce better results when you trust them trust that they are going to perform. not only to your expectations but to their highest levels. People hate being micromanaged because it implies that you don't respect or trust them. (12) I make sure that my people understand their position within the project while giving them the latitude to express their abilities, talents, and ideas.

When you want people to produce at their peak levels, empowerment and communication are vital. I strongly believe in communication it's what I do all day. I am constantly on the phone or in meetings. Communication doesn't always have. to be direct, of course, and I am a tremendous fan of e-mail. (13) Obviously, as a leader, you cannot do all the communicating yourself. The key is to identify the items that you really must communicate yourself and delegate the rest. (14) Inspiring and motivating a team to perform. at the top of its game is exciting and sometimes exhausting. But the process is always very rewarding. You learn a huge amount from your creative people, and they constantly surprise you with their ideas.

A For example, I worked with a very well-known and talented but very self-centered florist, whose volatile behavior. would wreak havoc on the team and affect the overall event production, and now I just won't work with him.

B As the event producer, it's my responsibility to keep everyone focused on the overall concept and design and to work with each team leader to ensure that the teams move forward in the same direction, all while minimizing difficulties and drama.

C The trick, I believe, is learning how to manage diverse individual personalities and take control with style. and grace.

D Of course, for that to work you need to have an associate who can function as your right-hand person.
