1st Rule of the Creator Club: no fighting. 2nd Rule: if you opt to fight, do so privately. Miscommunication is often caused by loss in translation, especially on social media. Subtleties are much easier to convey over a Zoom/phone call. Delay no more and pick up the phone. Solve issues early and head on before they spiral out of control.

Navigating conflict in the creator economy involves these steps: 1. Communication: Open and honest communication is essential. Address issues directly and respectfully, and encourage constructive dialogue. 2. Understanding: Seek to understand the perspectives and motivations of all parties involved. This can help find common ground and solutions. 3. Compromise: Be willing to compromise and find win-win solutions. This might involve adjusting terms, timelines, or expectations. 4. Conflict resolution skills: Develop skills in conflict resolution, such as active listening, problem-solving, and negotiation. 5. Boundaries: Clearly define boundaries and expectations upfront to prevent misunderstandings and conflicts from arising.

Seek first to understand. Taking the time to actively listen to all points of view puts you in the best position to see the big picture and to understand common ground and polarizing opinions. Finding a win-win solution requires that everyone feels seen and heard. A good leader can weave these ideas together in a way that acknowledges everyone's input and, ultimately, represents the greater good.

Listen. Listen. Listen. Think. Change. Ask for help. Don't assume you are right or wrong 100% Empathy. Treat others like you would be treated. Record yourself and reflect, are you seeking win-win? Do you even want it? It's very easy to have a first sale, but a solid relationship (including sales) depends on ongoing positive outcomes. Compromise it is a situation where no one goes away completely happy. Win win, both can go away happy and continue to win. Resist immediate impulses to anger, frustration, blaming. Cool heads prevail. Read biographies great things rarely happen to hotheads in 1 day... Bring your own weather!

Recognize if you are a conflict avoider, or someone who enjoys it. Accept that regular communication is essential to avoiding future miscommunications and plan for it and be faithful in making those meetings. Resist the temptation to send your AI assistant in your place to online meetings. When your AI assistant went to a meeting in your place don't throw it under the bus for mistakes it could have been avoided if you were present. Remember there are no substitutes for human communication, or relationship, except for extremely high quality AI interactions. Occasionally use humor to see if people are paying attention.

Every issue feels dramatically less intense when you find out that nothing new under the Sun, I've shared on LinkedIn the joys and challenges of adopting from Foster Care, they were small when we started and it was the first group- now I have many years experience to share and help others, if you help others it becomes very easy to accept other people's help as well. Plan to help others, and you will find it easier to understand your own challenges, step away from emotional gridlock, and otherwise be a more empathetic and successful human in life and in business. Don't accept substitutes, unless the AI is of such quality that it is better than any human in giving advice...

Over 50 million people are contributing to the $100 billion creator economy. Unfortunately, where people and money intersect - there is inevitable conflict.  Most of us have been socialized to interpret conflict as a negative thing that makes us uncomfortable. So, can we reframe conflict as something positive? Over the years I've come to see conflict as a source of possibility for greater understanding - a positive thing. Simply put, conflict can be interpreted as an invitation to talk.  Business isn't only about hard numbers and cold facts, it also includes feelings and emotions. Check your team's heart condition (emotional not medical) in times of conflict to learn how to orient discussions for omni-wins.

There is no Creator Economy, there are all of us people doing work. Any person deserves as much respect, patience, kindness and understanding as well as pay :-) as any other occupation, and one can argue human output, deserves dignity. Like artists and skilled craftsman from history, the output is intensely personal, and the hardest thing is to separate one's innate worth from the $$$ Creator Economy implies you're only valued as a creator is money. Economy for the Creative... Now that's a healthier place to start :-) Empathy for other creatives: Actor friend without health care. His social media: why doesn't somebody take care of me? Got him into mutual aid society, + supporting in other ways. Helping others is essential!
