Two go out, only one comes back...

I mentioned at some point early in this blog that I would take up the discussion of the split executive in theatre and other performing arts companies (i.e. artistic director/managing director).

This conversation has popped up on the Mission Paradox Blog. I think more can be said about why this dual-role exists, and it might be fun to play devil's advocate and think up some reasons it might be good; it may also be that there are a few criticisms of it that were left out of the Mission Paradox post.

I'll take up some of them anon.
