In Managing People and Projects in Museums, readers will discover a
practical guide to managing projects and important lessons about
the critical role of individuals in the museum workplace. The
chapters are illustrated with the experiences and observations of
the author and other museum professionals as well as literature
from the field. Specifically, the book covers organizational
behavior theory, strategic planning, and staffing and human
resource development, contemporary leadership challenges, and
ethical decision-making. The book provides details on selecting
projects, and creating policies that support sound decision
systems. Additional topics covered include: the steps in planning a
project including chartering, establishing timelines and assigning
roles, and developing budgets. Several management issues that are
common pitfalls in museum projects are highlighted, including means
of resolving conflict. The text examines the formation of high
performing teams with an emphasis on understanding individual
differences and communications, and the important role of the
project manager. The final chapters of the book include tips on
evaluation of project success and a set of nine actual case studies
from a variety of types and sizes of museums. The Appendix includes
helpful project decision templates, charters, and other management
tools used by museums today, along with hypothetical exercises.
