When Michael Shanklin talks about his new role as CEO of Thinkery, he doesn’t explain all the things that he wants to change. Quite the opposite, in fact. He instead leads with all the amazing things that are already there. That’s fitting for someone who has spent more than 20 years working in children’s museums. Shanklin knows that organizations like Thinkery don’t become part of a community overnight. They grow into that role over time, becoming part of family routines, childhood memories, and, eventually, traditions passed from one generation to the next.
