    Dear colleagues: [indulgence coveted for cross-posting]

    I follow the Leadership Matters blog published by Joan Baldwin & team. I generally agree wholeheartedly with the content.

    HOWEVER, Ms. Baldwin states in a recent post the 'words' in the title of my piece above at the very same time as asserting board members display "an epic level of misunderstanding about a board's role" and act "tyrannically."

    My Solving Task Saturation for Museum Workers blog post analyses the blatant contradiction at https://solvetasksaturation.wordpress.com/2021/09/25/museum-eds-spend-too-much-time-educating-boards/ .

    I must disagree strongly with Ms. Baldwin on this single point .

    Thanks for thinking about these matters.

    Respectfully yours
