WHAT'S HOLDING YOU BACK?
The media, gaming, and entertainment industries thrive on creativity, speed, and innovation—but the pressure is relentless.
Studios, production companies, game developers, and digital media firms operate in high-stakes, high-visibility environments with tight deadlines and extreme expectations. Leadership is often reactive rather than intentional, and crunch culture, burnout, and high turnover have become the norm rather than the exception.
Leaders in these industries face the following:
Toxic work environments – Burnout, long hours, and lack of psychological safety drive talent away.
High creative tension – Balancing vision, collaboration, and business realities without crushing innovation.
Unstable team dynamics – Short-term projects, shifting teams, and a freelance-heavy workforce make leadership difficult.
Retention and morale issues – Keeping top creative talent engaged in an industry where leadership is often overlooked.
Without strong leadership, even the most groundbreaking projects suffer from internal dysfunction, lost talent, and unsustainable work cultures.
