Chapter 3
Our experts explain their own creative processes when leading a team or building a bar programme. How do they approach some of the inevitable parts of the process: feedback, compromise and making mistakes?

In this episode, we explore how to unlock creativity. Being creative is not just about coming up with new ideas – it’s the ability to execute those ideas, utilising systems and structures, and overcoming challenges along the way. We head into some of the most creative bars in the world right now, speaking to leading consultants, directors and bartenders on how best to channel creative ideas, and the people who can bring them to life.
