Succession Planning in the Library: Developing Leaders, Managing Change

摘要

Recent published research reveals that mature workers are the fastest-growing segment of the labor market. Within the next 10 years, the number of workers over the age of 55 is expected to double. The number of workers who are eligible for retirement in 2010 is estimated to be 40% of the entire workforce. These figures alone provide a compelling argument why it is critically important for organizations, including libraries, to be in the process of developing future leaders. With this book, the authors detail key steps necessary to build succession planning into the framework of library management, ensuring the future of organizations.
