Winning with Library Leadership Summary

Under pressure to achieve more with less, libraries need to change how they achieve goals. In networked organizations, teamwork, communication, and collaboration are the keys to getting results. Yet, few leaders have role models or tools to implement such change. Winning with Library Leadership offers a roadmap with strategies and action steps to create shared accountability and responsibility in a customer-focused, fast-paced environment. Library leaders at any level can develop these new skills using the personal leadership assessment in conjunction with the Leadership Change Cycle tool to test, practice, and track new behaviors. A focus on four change levers can direct team energies and implement this transformation. Success stories and Applications in Action illustrate these leading edge principles. Put the concepts into practice and: Respond faster to customer needs; Maintain your focus on the most critical activities; Achieve results with new partnering possibilities and resource sharing; Generate excitement and inspire staff to accomplish their best work; Demonstrate measurable improvement in return on investment (ROI); Current and would-be leaders in public, private, academic, government or specialized libraries can sharpen leadership skills using this proven toolkit to take action and achieve results.
