About the Author
Dr. Sherene Suchy is a specialist in individual and organisational change. With over twenty-five years experience in human resource development, she currently manages a private practice in Canberra, Australia. The practice focuses on change management consulting, leadership coaching, research, and writing. Dr. Suchy was an Adjunct Lecturer for over ten years with the School of Management at the University of Technology Sydney and an inter-cultural coach for over fifteen years. Publications include numerous conference papers, journal articles, and a chapter in 'Museum Philosophy for the 21st Century,' edited by Hugh Genoways, available through AltaMira Press.
Leading with Passion is a wonderfully insightful look at what is
required to be the successful leader of an art museum—and by
extension, a successful manager in general. Dr. Suchy has collected
an enormous amount of complex detail, which she analyzes with
elegance and precision. Even if you were never interested in museum
management, you will find this an inspiring and informative human
document.

Dr. Suchy weaves a Renaissance tapestry of flow, social capital,
emotional intelligence, and entrepreneurism in helping us see and
understand museum leadership. Beyond museum directors and trustees,
these insights are applicable to other not-for-profits, service,
and public sector organizations, as well as most companies.

Behavior at the Weatherhead School of Management, Case Western
Reserve University*
Dr. Suchy's analysis of the conditions for dynamic leadership in
today's museums is of the greatest relevance to any current or
prospective museum directors. She combines practical and
theoretical aspects of organizational psychology and management
theory with lessons learned from observation and experience. Filled
with original insights, Leading with Passion should be required
reading for museum directors and trustees alike.
