How creative groups lose their edge when stakes get higher

Our theater company used to make bold choices together but now we second-guess everything because we're worried about audience reactions and funding, and we've become a committee that produces safe work instead of artists who take risks. Nobody wants to be the one to suggest something that might fail.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
