How to lead, by John Legend

Here is what John Legend says about the balance needed to lead other artists, on an interview for Big Think:

"The challenge is to not make them just clones of you; not try to make them sound just like you, or exactly have your creative imprint on everything that they do, but to allow them to be themselves. (...)

Part of my philosophy is just to allow them to shine, but still be a good editor. Help them when I feel they're lacking in one area. Help them make the right decisions with their career."
