What’s your question about communications?
When a creative is strong in Heart, the they care most about the needs of the ministry they are serving. Rather than walking in the door declaring that the creative talent has arrived, their goal is to deeply understand the needs of each ministry. Only then can they begin to build solutions based on their expertise. The goal isn't to flex how capable they are, it's to help ministry be successful.
This often looks like proactivity from the creative team. They aren't sitting around waiting for ministry leaders to approach them with changes. Rather, they are going to ministry leaders and asking how the creative horsepower of the creative team can be leveraged toward their ministry objectives.
One tell that a your creative team is Heart-strong shows up when mistakes are made. The primary goal is to identify what caused the mistake and build a structure to help prevent it from happening again. Placing blame isn't a priority at all. I like to describe it this way: the ministry leader and the creative team aren't battling each other, they are allies. When issues come up, allies team up and work to solve the problem together.
