Leadership in Cultural Organizations 


HA 488M (1.5 units); on-campus offering


Leadership is a key ingredient to personal and institutional success,
yet cultivating strong and visionary leadership remains one of the
greatest challenges facing the cultural sector. What are the qualities
and attributes of successful leaders and successful institutions? How do
you assess leadership in an institution and define leadership at the
individual level? 

This five-day session has two parallel themes running through your
conversations and coursework - personal leadership and institutional
leadership. Discussions focus on contemporary challenges and issues
impacting leadership in the cultural sector and explore strategies to
cultivate institutional leadership and enhance personal leadership. You
will have the opportunity to explore these issues for your own
institution and for yourself. Participation in this course enable you to

*	Gain a greater understanding of the range of issues impacting
leadership in the cultural sector
