Chris Collins argues you don't need to be creative to work on a creative team. Roles like estimator, manager, or administrator keep the collective brain running. The key is willingness to join a group dedicated to creative output, not becoming a creative person yourself.
If you join a creative collaborative structure, it doesn't matter that you personally are not creative because your function within that structure, let's say as an estimator or a manager or an administrator, is necessary to the function of this overall structure. And it is creative and it is necessary for you to be an obsessively orderly person who's keeping track of every penny. But that is now folded inside this other brain, which is this collaborative brain. So you've become like the superego of a collaborative brain. So it's not even necessary that you convert yourself, only that you are willing to join a body of people who are devoted to a creative output.
