A short excerpt from a YouTube interview (Chris Collins with a guest) about leading creatives. In this chunk the guest emphasizes practical leadership principles: keep people excited, 'feed' them (provide support and sustenance), keep them engaged with the stories being told, acknowledge life outside the writers' room, and show visible respect so team members reciprocate respect.

What have you learned, in a leadership sense about leading creatives? Like, what is the secret to getting the best out of them while maintaining structure and delivering something on top?
Keep people excited.
How do you do that?
Feed them.
Keep them excited about the stories that we're telling. Understanding that there's life outside of the writer's room. Understanding that we get paid to do the coolest things, which is tell these stories. When people understand that you respect and see them, then they respect and see you.
