Michael Kaiser: “I always compare the relationship between these two staff heads to that between a naughty child (artistic director) and an angry parent (executive director). The naughty child is always asking for ‘More, more, more!’ and the angry parent says ‘No! No! No! We can’t afford it.’ The lack of trust that develops between the two people who are meant to act as a team is ineffective at best and crippling at worst.”
