Importance of Artistic Agency in Hiring
Hiring individuals who view their work as a form of artistic expression leads to long-term collaboration and innovation. Seeking out people with a sense of high agency, who find fulfillment in their contributions, is crucial, as they are more likely to engage creatively and push boundaries in the projects. Conversely, hiring agencies or individuals who see themselves merely as service providers often results in a lack of commitment to the work, as their focus is divided among multiple clients. By prioritizing creative individuals who treat their work as art, the overall quality and evolution of the projects can be significantly enhanced.
