Samuel Cairnduff

Harmonising Cultural Leadership in Professional Orchestras

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book interrogates the widespread yet ill-defined use of 'cultural leadership' in strategic plans, policies, and industry discourse. The book's central finding is that many orchestras lack internal alignment around their public purpose, limiting their capacity to lead with authenticity.
