Topics covered include:
·Organizational structure, team-based work, and new business models are detailed.
·Working as a leader at the middle of the organization and ways to be successful in leading up are described.
·Leadership training and how individuals can be continual learners.
Case studies and profiles cover the work of university museums, children’s museums, historic sites, history, art, and multi-disciplinary museums. Each of the case studies provides personal perspectives of leadership qualities, career progression, and highlights of the transformative work at their museum.
