Leadership Matters; Thoughts on 21st Century Museum Leadership

January 30, 2019 1:30 pm CT

Presented by Anne Ackerson and Joan Baldwin



What makes the leader of a successful museum tick? Are there discernible attitudes, philosophies and skills that set a person apart? What lessons can be drawn from their stories? While leadership has been a trending topic in the for-profit arena for decades, it receives much less attention in the micro-niche of history museums. Anne Ackerson and Joan Baldwin, former history museum directors and co-authors of the book, Leadership Matters, contend that leadership training and development at both the board and staff levels must be more fully understood and embraced if these institutions are to prevail. Ackerson and Baldwin will reveal insights from their interviews of more than 30 engaging, innovative and entrepreneurial museum leaders in the US and Canada. Collected together, their stories capture history and cultural heritage museum leadership at one of the field’s most challenging times.
