Abstract:
The theme of this issue of the National Arts Stabilization Journal is Leading and Managing Change in Arts Organizations.
The first article is a series of short essays written by leaders from the dance, orchestra, museum, and opera communities, and from a private foundation. Each share experiences and observations about change. Among the topics discussed are:
-
examples of art organizations persisting to follow an established course rather than adapting to an evolving environment;
-
barriers to change, both good and bad, in art organizations; and
-
the pressures of dealing with new organizational direction, new artistic direction, facilities issues, commercialization, and other market forces.
Other articles address:
-
Organizational crisis and recovery.
-
The myriad changes that have taken place at the National Arts Stabilization.
-
Key concepts for leading and managing change:
-
knowing when change is needed;
-
leadership effectiveness;
-
stakeholder participation;
-
barrier to change;
-
constructive conflict; and
-
organizational commitment to change.
-
-
Why transformation efforts usually fail:
-
not establishing a great enough sense of urgency;
-
not creating a powerful enough guiding coalition;
-
lacking a vision;
-
under-communicating the vision by a factor of ten;
-
not removing obstacles to the new vision;
-
not systematically planning for and creating short-term wins;
-
declaring victory too soon; and
-
not anchoring changes in the corporations culture.
