 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 road map 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.
