Right on.
The only thing I would add is that things start going wrong when indivdual(s) who are more into self-worship than the museum's welfare, long-term survival, and the processes of making it function get control of the power structure and manipulate it to their own selfish aims and everyone else's disadvantage. This is what happened at WRM with the steam and diesel departments; they had to be gotten rid of because they stole limelight from a small group of this kind of egomaniac. This sort of thing has happened at other museums too, and the membership needs to be on its toes to prevent it.
