      Answer Example

      "I like working with creatives because I enjoy the process of ideation. Creatives also drive me to become more resourceful and imaginative in solving problems. I think that they bring color to the working environment. However, it's also true that working with creatives is like herding cats, constantly. So, before I assign project tasks, I always make sure I run turnaround times by them and negotiate as needed. Sometimes it's a challenge to get them to think in realistic terms, but I'm happy to take the wheel and get their commitments. I ensure them that we all have the same goal, to deliver at the highest standards, at a reasonable time."
