I was just hired to complete X, but every time I share ideas with the client they seem to think they know more than I do, what’s the deal?
Over the last few years I have noticed an ugly trend developing. It seems that in the ever growing (and broad) field of technology, the individuals hired to render services for clients are rarely looked at as the expert – even though they were hired, because nobody in house has the knowledge to complete the task. This person was hired because they are knowledgeable; so regardless of what you think looks good, is a best practice, or is easier for users – you’re probably wrong.
So, next time you hire someone, keep in mind why you hired that person. Don’t tell them you want the logo bigger, the music louder, or more spacing – go do your job, and let them do theirs.
