Leading with Passion

Dr. Suchy weaves a Renaissance tapestry of flow, social capital, emotional intelligence, and entrepreneurism in helping us see and understand museum leadership. Beyond museum directors and trustees, these insights are applicable to other not-for-profits, service, and public sector organizations, as well as most companies. -- Richard E. Boyatzis, Professor and Chair of Organizational Behavior at the Weatherhead School of Management, Case Western Reserve University Leading with Passion is a wonderfully insightful look at what is required to be the successful leader of an art museum-and by extension, a successful manager in general. Dr. Suchy has collected an enormous amount of complex detail, which she analyzes with elegance and precision. Even if you were never interested in museum management, you will find this an inspiring and informative human document. -- Professor Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Claremont Graduate University Dr. Suchy's analysis of the conditions for dynamic leadership in today's museums is of the greatest relevance to any current or prospective museum directors. She combines practical and theoretical aspects of organizational psychology and management theory with lessons learned from observation and experience. Filled with original insights, Leading with Passion should be required reading for museum directors and trustees alike. -- James Cuno, Courtauld Institute of Art, London
