Lessons in Library Leadership: A Primer for Library Managers and Unit Leaders takes on the
topic of management positions within libraries and how many of them are filled by candidates
with no formalized training. This lack of preparation often leads to added stress as they
scramble to learn how to lead to formulate departmental goals to conduct effective assessment
to think and plan strategically to counsel employees and much more. This book will serve
equally as a primer for librarians new to management and those needing a refresher in basic
management concepts. Seasoned managers may also look to this guide as a quick reference
resource covering multiple management subjects. The contents of the monograph include basic
concepts real word examples case studies and bibliographic information for further management
skill development.
