Leading Creative Teams with Patience and Example | Nic Davis and Wade Holland

How do you lead a creative team when you move faster than everyone around you? Documentary filmmaker Nic Davis of 4:08 Productions and adventure sports storyteller Wade Holland talk with Greg Aden about leading creative teams on film sets and inside a small, growing company. They share what servant leadership looks like when you are the one setting the pace.

In this conversation: - Why Nic is working on patience with his team and giving new hires time to develop - How asking a junior producer what she actually needs, instead of assuming, made her work and the company better - What ostrich racing in rural Nevada taught Wade about taking on hard, unfamiliar things head on - How Wade stepped off camera to manage and direct teams at the GoPro Mountain Games, and why leading by example means steering into the work when it gets hard

They also talk about Nic's six-year documentary on the Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington.
