Who are you competing against?
“Organizations need both good managers and strong leaders if
they are to survive and thrive in today’s competitive environment.
However, given the emphasis in recent years on MBA Programs
and management education and on short-term quarterly reports,
many organizations are over-managed and seriously under-led.
Today, our business schools need to develop leaders versus
business managers.”
– Dean George Benson
Terry College of Business,
University of Georgia
Judge – Malcolm Baldridge Award
Never in human history have libraries been as complex
as they are today.
- Complexity requires management.
- Without sound management, complex organizational
systems can become chaotic and ineffective.
- Savvy management is essential to ensuring order and
consistency in complex organizations, ensuring quality,
timely delivery and cost effective programs and services.
Change is coming more quickly than ever.
- Rapid technology change, greater competition, changing
demographics in the workplace, and wildly fluctuating
financial systems all demand a style of thinking and behaving
that emphasize flexibility and innovation, not processes and
routine.
- The real challenge for smart libraries today is to find and
groom people who are both good managers and strong
leaders.

 On the left, put the letter of the brief statement that best
describes where you currently work.
 On the right, put the letter of the statement that best
describes where you would like to work.
 The numbers can be the same (lucky you)!
 You can use “H” if you really cannot decide. You can use
“H” on either side or both sides.
Seven Major Organizational Types
“The Passive-Aggressive Organization,” HBR , October, 2005
A: PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE “Congenial and seemingly conflict free, achieves consensus easily, but
struggles to implement agreed-upon plans.”
B: RESILIENT “Highly adaptable to external market shifts, yet focused on and aligned behind coherent
values, mission, vision, goals.”
C: OUTGROWN “Too large and complex to be effectively controlled by small team, but has yet to
democratize decision-making authority.”
D: JUST-IN-TIME “Inconsistently prepared for change but can rise to an unanticipated challenge
without losing sight of the big picture.”
E: MILITARY-PRECISION “Dominated by small, involved senior team; succeeds through superior
execution and the efficiency of its operating model.”
F: OVERMANAGED “Its multiple layers of management create analysis paralysis and also politicize
decision making.”
G : FITS-AND-STARTS “Contains scores of smart, motivated, and talented people who rarely pull in the
same direction at the same time.”

Imposing will upon others . . .
“. . . the ability to impress
the will of the leader on
those led and induce
obedience, respect,
loyalty, and cooperation”
 1927 - Steward
. . . Vision and change
“Leadership is about
articulating visions,
embodying values, and
creating the environment
within which things can
be accomplished."
 1986 – Richards and
Engle
Leadership Is:
A Choice We Make, Not the Position We Hold.
The Passion to Make a Difference.
Seeing the Possibilities in a Situation While Others Are Seeing
the Limitations.
Taking Responsibility While Others Are Making Excuses.
The Ability to Make the Dream a Reality.
The Capacity to Care, and In Caring, to Liberate the Ideas,
Energy, and Capacity of Others.
More About How to Be - Not How to Do.
Courage.
“How many of you had someone in your life
that communicated your worth and potential so
clearly that it profoundly influenced your life?”
The process of social influence
in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others
in the accomplishment of a common task.
Leadership is ultimately about creating a way for people
to contribute to making something extraordinary happen.

They held no formal authority. No position.
Most people think that leadership is a position.
It isn’t.
Leadership is influence.
Don’t be so dependent upon position or formal
authority.
Use your moral authority, what you know is
right.

THE B.A. DAVID COMPANY
Structural leaders emphasize rationality, analysis, logic, facts and data.
They are likely to believe strongly in the importance of clear structure and
well-developed management systems.
A good leader is someone who thinks clearly, makes the right decisions,
has good analytical skills, and can design structures and systems that
get the job done.
THE B.A. DAVID COMPANY
Human Resource leaders emphasize the importance of people.
They endorse the view that the central task of management is to develop
a good fit between people and organizations. They believe in the
importance of coaching, participation, motivation, teamwork and good
interpersonal relations.
A good leader is a facilitator and participative manager who supports
and empowers others.
THE B.A. DAVID COMPANY
Political leaders believe that managers and leaders live in a world of
conflict and scarce resources. The central task of management is to
mobilize the resources needed to advocate and fight for the unit’s or
the organization’s goals and objectives.
Political leaders emphasize the importance of building a power base:
allies, networks, coalitions.
A good leader is an advocate and negotiator who understands politics
and is comfortable with conflict.
THE B.A. DAVID COMPANY
Symbolic leaders believe that the essential task of management
is to provide vision and inspiration.
They rely on personal charisma and a flair for drama to get people
excited and committed to the organizational mission.
A good leader is a prophet and visionary, who uses symbols, tells
stories and frames experience in ways that give people hope and
meaning.

Technology Accelerators
Leaders in Libraries Think Differently About the Role Of Technology.
They Never Use Technology as the Primary Means of Igniting a
Transformation – Yet – Paradoxically, They Are Pioneers in the
Application of Carefully Selected Technologies.
Values
At the School of Information, we are committed to making a difference
in the lives of citizens by enabling and supporting the curation,
organization and experience of information in ways that enhance lives.
We believe:
Humans are the center of the information life cycle
Information technologies must serve the needs of their users
Access to information for all citizens is a requirement of a civil society
Information systems should augment human and organizational
capabilities
Information quality raises ethical issues worthy of deep study
Our cultural heritage requires our active engagement in matters of
management, policy and preservation
