A good note-taker does more than just write down minutes. Remember, the goal of every meeting is a successful outcome. Rather than merely jot down what is spoken and discussed, note-takers must make connections, link up views and outline possible solutions to issues and problems that are discussed at the meeting. A structured note-taking approach can be a very useful aid to generate solutions on the fly.
Working with creative people is challenging as it is rewarding. While it can be stimulating to be surrounded by ideas in the midst of a creative environment, learning how to manage creative teams or co-workers is an art. And it needs to be pursued with care and attention. To manage a creative team effectively it is important to understand the way creative people work, and ensure that productivity does not get sacrificed in the process. You can’t produce creativity on demand by turning on a faucet, so there has to be an established code of work that is fair, stimulating, and result-oriented.
