Gnomedex: Suitt Discussion: "The Creative Leader"

I want to lead a discussion today at Gnomedex on The Creative Leader.

How do you identify and manage The Creative Leader in a category? How do you invest in it, counsel it and make it grow?

How do you manage a creative leader -- the person?

How do you manage a creative team?

Are we having FUN yet?
