Wetenhall's tenure as Carnegie Museums president wasn't smooth sailing; Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 10/17/22

Marylynne Pitz, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette; Wetenhall's tenure as Carnegie Museums president wasn't smooth sailing: "I've been really very busy and engaged with our museum trustees, directors and boards working on our strategic plan, which I'm very pleased with," he said about the five-year plan that he plans to present to the 60-member museum board in November. "I think from this effort our museums have developed their own strategic plans that are, in my judgment, very well aligned to help aim our museums toward a successful future."... One local arts leader concluded that Mr. Wetenhall's tenure would be brief after meeting him for the first time. "There was a lack of self-awareness, a lack of inquisitiveness about this new place he found himself in. He would talk, but he wasn't really listening," the individual said... About nine months ago, Mr. Foster suggested to executive committee members of the main Carnegie board that 360-degree assessments be done of all senior management staff to develop their managerial skills."
