Description
Museums today face unprecedented challenges-and the field needs inclusive, innovative leadership to meet these challenges. Yet many museum leaders find themselves unprepared for the demands of modern leadership, having “fallen” into their roles without formal training in essential skills like emotional intelligence, collaboration, and team building.
This book offers a fresh approach to museum leadership, grounded in a human-centered, emotionally intelligent model that prioritizes growth, relationships, and resilience. Drawing on decades of experience as a museum leader and leadership coach, Jenn DePrizio introduces a “leader-as-coach” framework, equipping leaders at all levels to guide their teams with empathy, inspire meaningful change, and build healthy, thriving organizational cultures.
Packed with actionable strategies, real-world examples, and insights tailored to the unique challenges of museums, this book is an essential guide for anyone ready to redefine leadership in the 21st century. Whether you're a seasoned executive or an emerging professional, this book will empower you to lead with purpose, influence, and impact.
