“So many of us, particularly when we first starting out, we might not have a lot experience leading, or being the boss, or being a manger...so we default to the employee / employer style relationship. So there’s an unequal distribution of power and the client becomes like a tyrant. But you need an equal level of power so you can contribute your best work.”
