I've spent a decade alternating between roles as a Fractional CTO and Fractional Creative Director.

In my experience, many founders, (both technical and non-technical) often struggle with creative direction.

Sometimes being "overly creative" with ideas and/or unable to effectively communicate their vision. This is usually shiny object syndrome we all suffer from.

Question for founders: Do you find creativity and communication as challenging as technical aspects in product development?
