About the program
Emotionally Intelligent Leadership in a Changing World
As museums evolve, so too have the demands on their leadership. Museum directors and CEOs are facing the need to rapidly expand their skillsets beyond scholarship and fundraising abilities. Emotional intelligence is critical to successfully grapple with the myriad complexities facing our field’s leadership today, including issues of social justice and climate change, labor negotiations, restitution claims, and philanthropic scrutiny. But what is emotional intelligence really and how can it be applied to the challenges and opportunities of our ever-changing world?
Experience and research confirm that exceptional leaders distinguish themselves by their capacity for self-awareness, ability to inspire and motivate by tapping into our emotions, and competency in building trust. Conversely, the majority of careers derail for reasons relating to emotional competencies including the inability to handle interpersonal problems, unsatisfactory team leadership during times of difficulty or conflict, or resistance to adapt to change or elicit trust.
While operational expertise, nonprofit management, and museum knowledge form the basis for successful executive performance, the display of emotional intelligence competencies clearly sets outstanding leaders apart from their peers. These skills aren’t necessarily inherent—they can and must be regularly nurtured and practiced. Join us for this year’s CEO Summit at the AAM Annual Meeting & MuseumExpo to explore various leadership challenges and effective practices, with a focus on:
- Adoption and utilization of emotional intelligence competencies to extend the chief executive’s impact and inspire outstanding performance in their museum.
- Effective practices in soliciting feedback, conducting accurate self-assessment, shaping organizational culture, and strengthening community.
Participants will gain:
- Insight into how exceptional executive leaders leverage the influence of positive emotions to shape organizational culture and results.
- A comprehensive understanding of the emotional intelligence model and its associated competencies.
- Application of emotional intelligence principles to not only lead within your museum but also to influence the broader ecosystem and community.
- Identification of strategies for enhancing your own leadership and emotional intelligence, as well as that of others.
