This quote from Flow Radio’s episode The Creative Leader’s Playbook is so good I’m not going to touch it.

Steven Kotler sits down with artist, designer, and serial entrepreneur Jody Levy for a conversation on how intuition, constraint, and ritual unlock creativity — and why all three are non-negotiables for high-performance leadership…

“I think it comes back to time, when I have the gift of time I’m like oh my god what am I going to do with it. Am I going to do this, am I going to do that. How do I want to use this time, this precious time. Do I want to paint, do I want to write, and I think creatives get that they never have enough time. And I think that people that don’t have that insatiable thing to quench, people don’t necessarily know how to fill time. Unfortunately now that we are in this world, with our digital universe even less so. That’s the hardest part of finding great leadership, is somebody that is structured enough, has the emotional intelligence to understand the grey area between everything. Can exist in the negative space, that we are trained as artists, and can kind of thrive. Creating guardrails with time and being OK with it being undefined and knowing that there’s productivity there. If we can figure out how to that bottle that and train that, that’s the next generation of leadership.”
