Carey Cranston on the American Writers Museum in Chicago

Carey Cranston, the inaugural president for the new American Writers Museum in Chicago shared with us his passion for the written word and his journey to launching the only American Writers Museum in the United States. What resonated the most during this interview was his approach to earning the trust and respect of his newly acquired working board of directors. There’s a vast difference in transitioning from a for-profit academic institution to a non-profit artistic organization. His approach: “I go to them. I’ll even go to their house to meet with them. I want my board to feel appreciated.” Prior to his new role, Carey most recently served as President of Fox College, a private career college in Chicago, where he spent the last 12 years. Podcast Topics Include:  Adapting as a leader to a new industry Transitioning from a for-profit to NPO environment Creating culture from the ground up in a start-up Engaging and managing governance and working boards of directors Acquiring top talent based “being the right fit” for the company mission Managing team members who may not share the similar core values, such as as “hard work pays off”, respect and openness Best practices for effective communications: in person versus virtual Being a leader who is passionate about the purpose of an organization  Show notes: http://pivot10results.com/episode10
