The Science of Leading Change in the Arts
The Science of Leading Change in the Arts
Tietoa podcastista
Arts and culture is a big business—a $1.02 trillion sector whose 100,000+ organizations serve almost every community in the nation.
This podcast is about running that business: how to grow audiences, develop high performing teams and leaders, get younger attendees in the seats and on the donor rolls, apply strategies working in other sectors, and generate millions more dollars in revenue, all in order to serve the mission and flourish in a changing world.
Hosted by “the Steve Jobs of classical music” (Observer) and "Sheryl Sandberg of the Symphony" (LA Review of Books), in each episode Aubrey Bergauer discusses the offstage work of arts organizations and the administrators, artists, and board members who make them run.
