## [The Salt in the Stew: Leadership, Health, and Building a Culture of Care](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/the-salt-in-the-stew-leadership-health-and-building-a-culture-of-care)
By [Theresa Hubbard](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/theresa-hubbard)
April 7th, 2026
In this installment of the CEO Chronicles, I speak with Jessica Solomon, facilitator, cultural worker, and organizational development practitioner, about one of the most overlooked dimensions of leadership: care — for your organization, your team, and yourself. Jess worked with Fractured Atlas beginning in 2021, helping us rebuild trust and culture during a period of real upheaval, and she brings that same depth and honesty to this conversation. Give it a listen and let us know what questions you have for Jess (or myself) in the comments 💬

By [Theresa Hubbard](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/theresa-hubbard)
February 10th, 2026
Leadership isn't just for executives. As artists, we're constantly leading — our projects, our collaborations, our careers, our creative visions. In this installment of the CEO Chronicles, I speak with leadership coach Kelly Kienzle about finding clarity in confusion, trusting your instincts, and remembering you don't have to figure everything out alone. Give it a listen and let us know what questions you have for Kelly (or myself) in the comments 💬

In this installment of our new CEO Chronicles series, I sit down with David Blasher, Executive Director at the MAP Fund, to speak about the unique challenges and opportunities of interim leadership. Both of us have navigated interim roles at our respective organizations and share what we've learned about building trust, managing uncertainty, and supporting organizational transitions.

## [Who can be a leader?](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/who-can-be-a-leader)
By [Theresa Hubbard](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/theresa-hubbard)
July 22nd, 2025
In the face of uncertainty, we often turn to leaders for wisdom, guidance, and strength. I don’t know about you, but there are plenty of people in positions of authority and influence right now who don’t inspire me — people who have betrayed their most vulnerable constituents, abandoned due process, and sunk to new levels of corruption and self-serving greed. If you’re asking yourself what leadership even means in a time like this, I can assure you that I’m right there with you: angry, confused, searching.

By [Fractured Atlas](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/fractured-atlas)
January 24th, 2024
This past summer, the Fractured Atlas ecosystem welcomed Alberto Mejia as our organization’s new Chief Operating Officer. As the confetti settled, it was time to sit down and chat expansively with Alberto. He shares his personal definitions of artist support and solidarity, his hopes for the creative economy, and how fiscal sponsorship can fit into this complex puzzle. We hope you enjoy Alberto’s colorful window into Fractured Atlas’s work.

## [Seeding Collaborations: Interview With Courtney Harge from OF/BY/FOR ALL](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/seeding-collaborations-interview-with-courtneyharge)
By [Sophia Park](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/sophia-park)
February 22nd, 2023
In this edition of “Seeding Collaborations,” we talked with Courtney Harge, CEO of OF/BY/FOR ALL. OF/BY/FOR ALL is a non-profit organization that is invested in the work of helping organizations connect with their communities in effective, authentic ways. Different sectors have been coming to terms with what “community” means to them especially as efforts in diversity and inclusion continue within various institutions. As the art world further defines and works with communities, Harge offers advice on what meaningful connections can look like—especially between institutions and communities.

February 1st, 2023
In the midst of the transitions that we all faced during the past few years, we adjusted and adapted. For Fractured Atlas, the biggest transition that we experienced was an interim leadership period with Theresa Hubbard as the interim CEO. Today, we’d like to reintroduce Theresa to everyone as our new CEO.

## [Assessing a Four Person Non-Hierarchical Leadership Team](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/assessing-leadership-team)
By [Tim Cynova](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/tim-cynova)
October 9th, 2019
Challenge How does a Board of Directors (re)craft its annual assessment of the CEO when that role is filled by a four-person, shared, non-hierarchical leadership team? This was precisely the challenge the Fractured Atlas Board faced in early 2019. Below, in detail, we describe the process we crafted to answer this question.

Applying a Lovingkindness Lens by Tim Cynova, Chief Operating Officer at Fractured Atlas Remember when it seemed like everyone was trying to achieve “work-life” balance? More recently, perhaps in a nod to the challenges of balancing “work” and “life” in an always-connected world, or maybe because for those searching for meaning and purpose in their activities there’s not always a bright line distinction between “work” and “life,” the phrase has shifted to “bringing our whole selves to work.”

An Early Look Into Fractured Atlas’s Shared Leadership Model Preamble Those playing along at home will recall that Fractured Atlas recently embarked on a few new adventures. One of which is the creation of a four-person, non-hierarchical leadership team for the organization. (I recently shared a collection of research on the topic. If you can wait a bit longer, I’m publishing a subsequent post that distills the key findings from the hundreds of hours I spent reviewing material.)
