The General and the foot-soldier.

We have to don many hats as a creative. The thing to understand here is that we can don only one hat at a time.

The foot soldier has his role and the General has her role. It makes sense to identify the role we are playing and the responsibility that the role dictates.

It creates a mess when the foot soldier starts taking the decisions that a General is supposed to take. Even, or especially, if they both are the same person.
