As a collaborative director, I'd prefer a setup where I can make decisions on my own but give updates yearly. This gives me freedom to act fast and be creative, but I'd still be held accountable. On the other hand, if I need to check in regularly with higher-ups for their input, it ensures I stay on track with the organization's goals. However, this might slow things down and limit my freedom to act. So, finding a balance between independence and guidance is key for success
