#050 3 Lessons Business People Can Take From a Bunch of Designers [Leadership Success Podcast]
Description
Update: after hitting publish I realized the headline could be misinterpreted. I hope you can tell from the first paragraph that I’m not saying designers aren’t business people. In fact, I’m saying they (you, if you are one) can help the rest of us become better business people.
I enjoy learning from people outside of my area of expertise. I view it as cross training for the mind and soul. I think it makes me a better professional and a more complete human being.
Francis Bacon said:
Images also help me find and realize ideas. I look at hundreds of very different, contrasting images and I pinch details from them, rather like people who eat from other people’s plates.
This weekend I went to WMC (Weapons of Mass Creation) Fest and I want to share with you a few things I took away from the festival. This was by no means everything I learned, but I wanted to keep it brief for you.
Here are the three main points:
- Working with what you have
- Allowing others’ processes to influence you
- Finding your identity in a structure (culture) that already exists
