99U | Tea Uglow: How to Lead When You Don’t Know What You’re Doing @99u | Uploaded July 2018 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
Tea Uglow gave herself a unique and imaginative title to match the unique and imaginative work she does at Google Creative Lab Sydney. As “Experimental Person-in-Charge”, she has worked with artists, writers, and performers on seven books, 17 websites, six apps, a feature film, three plays, two concerts, four museum exhibits, and a teddy bear that talks. In this talk, Uglow explains why her success as a leader is rooted not in what she knows, but in what she doesn’t know:
Why the best creative leaders value the skillsets they don’t have
Why creatives shouldn’t have to-do lists
And how her journey as a transgender woman shows that you can’t truly plan your life or career
