Power is a common motivator, but not a very good one — especially if you’re looking to build long-lasting trust and deliver on creative projects in ways that break the mold. Leveraging motivators like connection and mentorship produces much better results and gets to the heart of what real leadership should look like in the digital age. Debbie Millman, host of “Design Matters” and author of the new book, “A Love Letter to a Garden,” breaks it down in our latest RCL episode, which is live for listening now.

When you arrive at new opportunities for creative leadership, there are some things you can’t take with you — specifically, the conviction that your success is the only kind that matters. The very best leaders have to know who they’re leading and want to find ways to elevate everyone’s LinkedIn profile, not just their own.
