Be Bold!
Always create more value than you capture ~Tim O'Reilly
Never accept unsatisfactory results ~Steve Jobs
Value people appropriately; "Management is the opportunity to help people become better people" ~Clayton Christenson
Make decisions based on data
"All Staff" meetings should be:
Keeping people in the loop
Modeling accountability to our team members (keeping meetings on time, following through on items discussed, sharing leadership of meetings, having an agenda)
Making sure peoples’ needs are met – bring a problem to the group for help!
Time for teambuilding (chatting, being together, and enjoying snacks!)
Board interactions:
Tour part of the organization at each meeting to learn about the programs and resources available
100% Board Giving
Include art in science centers
Kick starter for new exhibitions
Public vote on new in house exhibition topics (a la Boise Classic Movies)
Change management:
Stagnation is an equilibrium between drive and restraint. Change is most effective through the removal of restraints rather than increasing drive
