University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Librarian Irene Herold’s research into leadership development in academic and research libraries has led to the recent publication of Creating Leaders: An Examination of Academic and Research Library Leadership Institutes.
Book description
Edited by Herold, Creating Leaders: An Examination of Academic and Research Library Leadership Institutes explores whether leadership development programs develop leadership, the value of attending a leadership development program, and what a participant can reasonably expect, and ought never expect, if they attend a particular program.
Whether contemplating attending a program, developing a program, or just wanting to know what others consider essential theories or activities for personal leadership development, this book provides an informative look into a variety of approaches to creating academic and research library leaders.
