Leading through Change Anne GouldingProfessor of Library and Information Management School of Information Management
Study 1 • Participants • Librarianship students (online questionnaire) • Mid-career professionals (online questionnaire) • Library leaders (telephone interviews)
Political Skills • Communication • Advocacy • Negotiation/infuencing • Political sensitivity • Knowledge of the wider environment
“Internal Marketing” “Internal marketing is integral to change management, and a lack of internal marketing and the ability to suppress discussions and then ‘sell’ change to an entire staff at a critical juncture in the context of re-shaping the library (to fulfil the leader’s new vision), thereby minimising resistance and optimising staff morale is a tactic sorely lacking in many public sector institutions”
Innovation and Leadership • Distributed leadership • Collaboration • Service innovation
Distributed leadership • Low formalization • High levels of autonomy • “[a]bility to ‘let go’ – the best leaders allow their team to use their own initiative (whilst still being supportive and guiding where necessary)”
