5 TRAITS OF CREATIVE LEADERS (AND HOW TO BECOME ONE)
By Erik Wahl (original source Fast Company)
“Being a leader is difficult. That’s why most of us end up taking direction from others in our professional lives. But the ranks of the self-employed are swelling, hinting that more people are getting comfortable taking the reins in their own hands.
