Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco

The Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco will strengthen staff leadership and training as part of its new succession plan. An external consultant will work with the museum’s director to facilitate project activities, beginning with an assessment of staff’s strengths and areas of potential growth. Training opportunities will respond to needs identified during the assessment process and will include leadership coaching for the executive director and the leadership team; individual and group training sessions for staff; and mentorships pairing new and emerging professionals with former staff, Board, or community leaders. Some trainings will be incorporated into regular staff meetings and other parts of the overall organization structure so that they will be systematized as an ongoing organizational practice. The project will result in increased access to learning opportunities for the museum’s staff, leading to strengthened organizational resilience and staff retention.
