" How Artists Can Collaborate With Less Creative Peers"
When creative projects struggle, a lack of good ideas is rarely the problem. Usually the issue is with incorporating the various ideas into the output.
Team members who think of themselves as " ARTISTS ", have a greater tendency to reject others’ creative ideas, but even artists need to be open to suggestions from others. Here’s how to do it:

(1) Think of others’ input as general inspiration rather than as a challenge to your vision !
Consider new ideas an opportunity to build on your thinking.
(2) Maintain an unemotional demeanor during collaborations.
Reacting less in the moment helps you maintain a less hostile tone.
(3) Delay responding to new ideas.
If your knee-jerk response to new ideas is rejecting them, give yourself time to think through an idea’s merits before making a decision about it.
(4) Think of projects as learning opportunities, not products.
Instead of focusing on getting every detail right, focus on a project’s useful takeaways.
