Tools for Trustees | The Leadership Partnership

$60.00

The Leadership Partnership  explores and supports the critical partnership between the executive director and the board members.  It helps leadership unite in the development of strategies and tactics that are appropriate for the individual institution. A series of online surveys allows board members to look at their own performance, that of the board as a whole and that of the executive director across ten critical areas of museum management: mission, vision and strategy; professional development, board operations, individual relationships, oversight, finances and fundraising, collections, facilities, and public engagement. The final tool guides users into turning the findings from the surveys into a leadership plan, to be presented and discussed with the board.

Tools for Trustees is a four-part series designed by the Museum Trustee Association to focus attention on key processes and tasks of governance. The books and web-based customizable tools include a calendar and surveys that collect information and then guide the board in using that information to organize their thoughts, identify their priorities, and plan their actions. All tools in the series have two parts: a printed guide and an online website. Purchasers of the books and web app have access to assistance from the MTA staff.
