You want them to be highly creative ? Value their work, their personality and let them do what they do best: CREATE.  As long as they are confident, inspiration will trickle down and burst at the seams.

Be aware that your guys will still procrastinate, seek perfection and get distracted yet miraculous things will happen! BUT keep in mind not rest on your laurels, you may take time for them. Explain why they are building it and let them choose!
