A good creative director has great strategic thinking, leadership skills, confidence and presentation skills.A great creative director makes their team believe in what they are doing. Creative directors have the job of promoting a vision and getting their team to work hard to achieve that vision or spread it. However, they also have to delicately balance this drive to achieve this vision and look into the personal growth of their team members. When a team thrives, the output given is exceptional and the quality that is seen positively affects the company.
