From The Art of the Turnaround
“There is a widely held, but usually wrong, belief among board members that artistic leaders are spendthrifts who do not appreciate the difficulty finding funding. . . .This condescending line of reasoning results in a belief that if ‘a businesslike person’ attacks the budget, the fat will be removed and the organization will be right-sized. Nothing could be further from the truth.” ~Michael Kaiser, former executive director of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and current president of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
