Change is coming, it's inevitable. That's the unofficial motto of the arts industry, so you better be prepared as a leader. And, ultimately, that preparation starts with the ability to adapt your leadership style situationally. Beneficially, however, situational adaptability aids you not only at a macro level but also at the micro-relational level within your own organization. With all of the prior in mind, this writing brings in theories and models meant to aid arts leaders as they learn to apply leadership principles in an adept and precise way while coordinating with the environment they face.
As with all quick reads in the Arts Leadership Series, the first part of the writing will bring in the thoughts and theories of the author and common literature. The second part will allow readers to compare what they have learned with the experienced perspectives of current arts leaders through candid, transcribed interviews. With both theory and experience combined, readers become part of a transformational encounter to advance the future of the Arts Leadership field.
