Decisions
Art takes time, inserting an artist means you’ll go slower than you think.
Business wants now, inserting an operator means you’ll go faster than you think.
Professionals create space, so if you bring them in, you better give them the autonomy to make it.
Amateurs expect it, so if you bring them in you better provide it.
If a job needs quick turnaround get a contractor, don’t slow them down with a process.
If a job requires tension, hire and give the full-time employee time to explore it.
Knowing the difference is hard. Living the difference is even harder.
