Mental Health has become a buzzword in contemporary society. At times it functions as a source of positive, progressive change and at other times it functions as a nebulous suggestion for positive life experiences. In the arts world, where the psyche is consistently challenged, a leader's role in maintaining their own mental health and the mental health of their followers is worthy of discussion as a means of clarity and advancement-and that is the primary role of this book. As with all quick reads in the Arts Leadership Series, the first part of the writing will bring in the thoughts and theories of the author and common literature. The second part will allow readers to compare what they have learned with the experienced perspectives of current arts leaders through candid, transcribed interviews. With both theory and experience combined, readers become part of a transformational encounter to advance the future of the Arts Leadership field.
