Just a Millennial Girl Living in a Museum World: Succeeding as a Young Museum Leader

Thursday, March 4, 10:00 a.m. CT

Madeleine Calcote, Executive Director, Museum of North Texas History

Have you ever been the youngest person at the table AND also been the one in charge? Many young leaders are not trained to address the challenges that come with managing across generations. This webinar will explore patterns of how different generations work, highlight some of the best aspects of varied generational approaches, and share examples from her own career.   Whether managing up, down, or sideways, participants will learn strategies for success when working with any generation: passion, vision, perseverance, patience, and decisiveness.
