This leadership book is unique in that each of the chapters is a conversation/discussion between one of the authors and an experienced library leader. It is based on the premise that experience and experiential learning is essential in academic library leadership, management, and administration, and that people are at the center of everything we do. The 15 chapters are centered around the following topics: making the leap, building effective teams, learning to lead and manage, maintaining personal values, institutional advocacy, recruiting and retention (building a diverse team), making hard decisions and having difficult conversations and setting expectations, managing mistakes and building on failure, creating a culture of change, professional development, library buildings and renovations and facilities, crisis management, finding your role in the university, fundraising and development, and developing and managing budgets. The library leaders chosen for the book show a wide range of experience, education, background, and knowledge on these topics, and are well-known within the field: Elaine Westbrooks, Lorelei Tanji, Amy Kelly, Faye A. Chadwell, Annie Belanger, Lesli Baker, Melissa De Santis, Trevor A. Dawes, Alexia Hudson-Ward, Krisellen Maloney, Adrienne Lim, Carol Smith, Yolanda Cooper, and Maggie Farrell. Jon E. Cawthorne of Wayne State University provides a compelling and succinct foreword.
