People don’t feel cared for, valuable, or a part of something great based simply upon total compensation. Don’t get me wrong, total compensation (wage and benefits) is important to every employee, but it is not always the most important factor!

If you are in a creative industry or field, do you feel this pressure? How often? Is it a daily burden wondering: “Can I come up with another great idea today?” Or am I going to have “writers block” or continue in a “creative funk?”

It’s not just the creative folks in an industry who must deal with the daily inspiration conundrum. Leaders and anyone with a deadline also face this challenge. How do I continue to produce great results or lead my team if I don’t feel inspired?
