Shawn Wood, who is married with two children and works at Seacoast Church, presented on properly managing artists. He discussed some ineffective approaches he has used in the past, including trying to treat all artists the same, communicating decisions over email, and not establishing clear expectations. Effective management requires setting guardrails to focus creativity, embracing processes, defining minimum standards, and ensuring accountability through reviews that aim to improve future work. The goal is for managers and artists to understand expectations of each other.
