Committees are killing your future - because just as light cannot escape from a black hole, your concept for disruptive, creative thinking is guaranteed to disappear forever when it is pulled into the gravitational field of this lowest form of group- think.
You’ve had a great idea. You’ve tested it out. You’re shared the concept with a few people - excitement builds around your discovery! You are purposeful, driven, initiative-energized!
And then you are told that you need to take your idea to the ‘committee’ so that there is consensus. Agreement and concurrence. So that feathers aren’t ruffled, or so that others can have a kick at the validity of your concepts and add their ‘two cents worth.’ You take a deep breath, and prepare for your presentation. With trepidation, you enter the room.
And an hour later, you emerge. Destroyed. Deflated. Lost.
The committee tore your idea to shreds - not with logic, but with spite. Rather than reaching for the bold concepts that you’ve presented, the committee has determined that it is best to pursue the lowest risk path towards guaranteed failure so as to not get out of a ‘comfort zone.’ Rather that taking fast new initiatives to conquer fast moving trends, the committee decides is best to slam on the brakes in order to ‘study’ the issue.
Your worst fears come true - a special ‘sub-committee’ is created to study your plan, with a plan to report back in eight months.
Your idea is dead.
You know this is true, don’t you?
Committees are cancer. They are the lowest form of mindthinki that pretty much guarantees a path to failure, a road to the mediocre, a direction to nowhere and a commitment that wavers like jello in a bowl.
Nothing can escape from a committee - because just as black holes distort the laws of gravity, they defy the laws of creativity and disruptive thinking.

When Publishing Meets Creativity: an experience with designer and art director Jeannine Saba at RUFA. Curated by RUFA lecturer and illustrator Francesco Fidani.
For the first Talk of the new year, RUFA was pleased to host Jeannine Saba, a London-based creative director and publisher, and founder of Piero Publishing. With over twenty years of experience in luxury publishing for prestigious magazines such as Harper’s Bazaar, Tatler, and Diplomat Magazine, Jeannine Saba is a leading figure in the international publishing landscape.
Since 2016, she has been leading Piero Publishing, an independent publishing house that collaborates with major corporate clients and institutions, including the City of London, Hines, The Dorchester, and Savoy.
The talk offered an immersion into the world of print, focusing on the activities of Piero Publishing, which publishes renowned magazines such as The Covent Gardener, The Mayfarer, and The City Courant, as well as two custom publishing magazines (Hines Europe and the in-house magazine of The Dorchester hotel).
These publications are known for their production of richly illustrated, original, and collectible print magazines. During the talk, Jeannine Saba presented case studies such as St. George’s magazine, a publication co-produced with primary school students, which later inspired the creation of The Dorchester magazine.
The three independent magazines collectively reach over 120,000 readers per issue and feature limited advertising. Piero Publishing collaborates with hundreds of international illustrators, including notable names such as Quentin Blake, Milton Glaser, and Olimpia Zagnoli.
Key Themes of the Talk
The talk addressed several key aspects related to the creation and management of a local magazine, with a special focus on how to establish a strong connection with the local communities of London. The discussion highlighted the cultural and historical storytelling of the area, emphasizing the role that print can play in promoting local businesses and supporting the community.
A further focus was dedicated to the detailed description of all the stages of magazine production. From content collection to distribution, including advertising research, design, and working with illustrators, each stage was explored with a practical and comprehensive approach. In particular, there was be an in-depth look at the entire production process of illustrated images, from artist selection to the printing of the final file, offering students a clear and complete view of the entire workflow.
The talk introduced students to a concrete collaboration with the magazine The Covent Gardener: during the second semester, students will be involved in the creation of illustrations for the internal articles and the cover of an entire issue, which will be published in 2025 with the RUFA logo on the cover.
