First published in 2013, this revision of Leadership Matters features nine new profiles and a new chapter of emerging museum leader voices, proving that leadership is as much about individuals as institutions. Using personal insights from the history museum field’s most engaging, innovative and entrepreneurial leaders, these profiles focus not only on museum directors and CEOs, but also on the “leaders within”—deputies, department heads and team leaders -- and those demanding change from the community. Baldwin and Ackerson weave together the voices of 21st-century museum leadership at its best, creating a resource for graduate students, mid-career professionals, institutions, and boards of trustees to move from the status quo to being agile and influential, fostering leadership that will make a difference. Too many museums and heritage organizations still consider leadership development a ‘nice-to-have’, but not a necessary component for a successful executive director or department head. The field struggles to address a new round of cultural warfare fueled by widespread societal division and the overwhelming lack of diversity and equity in museum leadership at all levels, including boards of trustees. Additionally, the field continues to ignore the gender pay gap despite a workforce hovering at 50-percent female and with the potential to grow significantly over the next decade. More than ever, successful museum leadership isn’t the result of longevity, scholarship or curatorial achievement. In fact, today’s successful museum leaders bring myriad skills to the table, creating a style that works both personally and professionally. This snapshot of museum leadership focuses on history and cultural heritage organizations to help readers understand the power of individual leadership and its relationship to organizational strength. This book features: • 36 interviews – nine of them brand new to this edition -- with leaders in the field from a range of positions and institutions • 10 myths of museum leadership and why they’re wrong • 10 simple truths of museum leadership • A leadership “agenda” with criteria and goals for individual and organizational development

Readers will benefit greatly from Bill's wisdom. This is an important book that should be widely read.' -W. Earl Sasser, James L. Heskett, and Leonard A. Schlesinger 'Rarely are we given an open and generous look inside the corporate leader who is the embodiment of the mission and values of the enterprise. . . A powerful book.' -Frances Hesselbein 'A fascinating story about servant leadership and an extraordinary culture at ServiceMaster.' -Richard L. Thomas 'A remarkable book. . . . ServiceMaster invented 'lea production' for the service sector by listening to and empowering its employees on the front line. This book is the moving story of the wellspring of that culture and philosophy, told by a reflective, modest corporate leader.' -Elmer Johnson

Tales of Leadership is a collection of case studies created for anyone in a leadership position who is interested in genuine self-reflection and self-improvement that will lead to more positive and effective relationships and productivity within businesses and organizations of all types. These case studies in behavior may sound almost too bad or too good to be true, but they are all based on real people and actual events. Some will read these vignettes and be startled by the egregious behavior exhibited by some of the main characters. Others will read them and deludedly only see themselves in the more positive examples in this series, such as The Architect or The Empowerer. Very few will readily relate with and admit to The Serpent or The Bully within. ...There is a lesson for those of us who tolerate or ignore problematic behavior in senior leaders or understate their negative impact on the organization until it's too late. The stories in this series are meant to stimulate conversations around self and organizational improvement and will be most beneficial for those who want to analyze the success or failure of processes and checks and balances that produce leadership behaviors and hold leaders accountable. At the end of each book, there are a series of questions designed to facilitate thoughtful conversation. However, before you critique and analyze others within your organization, always first look within and ask what traits you see within yourself and, more importantly, what traits others see within you. ... THE BULLY Do you have a bully at work? Find out what drives them and how you can spot the telltale signs to protect your own organization before the damage is done. Bethany Bullock had always been a star performer. She worked in finance for a major Federal Agency in Washington, D.C. Highly educated and effective, she was promoted almost annually because of her performance ratings until she was given her first role as supervisor. But then a different side of Bethany emerged... She had worked hard to get to her current position; now she wanted to make sure no one could take it away from her. Everyone in her team was a potential threat to her. People with ability were not encouraged to thrive in case they outshone Bethany herself. She used her control of her staff's annual performance ratings as a weapon, consistently under-valuing people's performance to 'keep them in their place'. Incapable of forming positive human relationships, Bethany hated when colleagues seemed to be working well together and forming effective teams. They were clearly ganging up on her. She would have to break them up... Productivity in Bethany's department began to plummet. Staff began to leave the agency at unprecedented rates. The level of sick leave went through the roof. A manager was appointed to join the division and find out what was going wrong...
