#9 Recruiting, nurturing and elevating a team of talents with Patrick Gyger from Lieu Unique and Platorm 10

After serving as the Director of the Lieu Unique — a multidisciplinary cultural center in Nantes, France — for ten years, Patrick Gyger has recently been appointed as the first Director of the brand new Platform 10 Foundation in Lausanne Switzerland. In this episode, we talked extensively about the importance of recruiting and nurturing a great team, we discussed how to deal with conflict within art institutions taking stances on political and/or societal issues and we chatted about sharing power as a leader and ensuring you surround yourself with people who are stronger and better than you.
