Most leadership advice was built for predictable workplaces; creative teams aren't one of them.

In The Nine Types of Creatives & How to Manage Them, Liz Hunt introduces a practical framework for understanding the different personalities, motivations, and leadership needs behind every creative team. Whether you lead designers, marketers, writers, strategists, developers, or innovators, this book will help you build healthier teams by understanding the humans behind the work.

Creative teams are different. Their leadership should be, too.

The Nine Types of Creatives & How to Manage Them challenges traditional management advice with a framework designed specifically for creative people. Through nine distinct archetypes, Liz Hunt explores the patterns that shape how creatives communicate, collaborate, solve problems, handle conflict, and grow.

This book is for:

  • The Managers

  • The Creatives

  • Anyone running, leading, or existing within a team of creative people

THE 9 CREATIVE ARCHETYPES™



  • Text reading 'The Freshman Creative Archetype' in bold pink letters on a beige background.

    The eager, bright-eyed beginner. Full of enthusiasm, short on experience, ready to learn, and in desperate need of guidance.

  • Book cover titled 'The REMNANT Creative Archetype' with a beige background and bold pink text.

    The seasoned veteran who carries both wisdom and scars. Has seen it all but been burned by the industry. May still hold a spark that can be reignited.

  • The Wildcard Creative Archetype

    The wanderlust-driven free spirit. Remarkably creative, often flaky, and perpetually chasing meaning in the form of new adventures. 

  • The image features a beige background with bold pink text that reads, "THE ORACLE CREATIVE ARCHETYPETM."

    The creative carrying the heaviest emotional load. They bring intensity, empathetic perspective, and a deep appreciation for humanity.

  • The All-Star Creative Archetype™ title on a beige background with pink text.

    The high achiever. Talented, humble, and consistently great. The kind of creative you want on your most important projects.

  • Text reading "The Strategist Creative Archetype" in bold magenta letters on a beige background.

    The slow-burn thinker. Equal parts creative and logical, they bring depth, planning, and adaptability to any team.

  • Cover of a book titled 'The Adjacent Creative Archetype' in pink text on a beige background.

    The people-person who thrives around creativity, even if they lack technical executional skill. Great in client-facing or connector roles.

  • Book cover titled 'The Influencer: Creative Archetype' with a beige background and pink text.

    The charismatic leader with great impact. They are persuasive communicators who are prone to developing toxic egos due to deep insecurity. 

  • Text on a beige background stating "The Visionary Creative Archetype" in large pink letters.

    The dreamer and doer. Big-picture thinker, innovator, and unifier who inspires teams to chase what feels impossible.
