Counter Mentor Leadership
Author: Kelly S. Riggs
Publisher: Nicholas Brealey
ISBN: 1473657253
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Disregard everything you've been taught about leadership! 2018 GOLD MEDAL Axiom Business Book Award Winner! This book is the result of over three decades of combined experience from Kelly and Robby Riggs - dynamic, occasionally irreverent, always insightful father (Boomer) and son (Millennial), who work with organizations grappling daily with multi-generational conflict. Through their collaboration, Kelly and Robby share their very different perspectives on the same problems most companies are STILL dealing with, but haven't had the courage or the tools, to address. Issues such as a shocking lack of leadership skills; the culture-killing generational divide that is demolishing many companies; and the stunning, often unrecognized impact of technology on the workplace. In their "shamelessly funny, brilliantly written" debut book, Kelly and Robby: · Discuss today's workplace dynamics, including the changes in communication modes, the influx of technology, and the impact of Millennials and Digital Natives · Explain how a one-sided approach to leadership focused on "managing" Millennials is grossly insufficient, resulting in an inability to attract and retain critical young talent · Explore the new challenges of leadership inherent with the explosion of technology-time compression, distractions, complexity and the pace of change · Reveal how old leadership challenges persist, and explore how the younger generation will expose those challenges more than ever · Detail the CounterMentor leadership model and prescribe specific tactics and techniques for addressing both old and new leadership issues

Making a Difference
Author: Peter Hernon
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313090629
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
Leadership is separate from, but integral to, management; and library directors today and for the foreseeable future can be expected to play an institutional role as they lead the library to contribute towards the mission of their college and university. Similarly, new courses in library leadership now accompany more traditional ones on managing organizations and information resources. However, much of the literature on LIS leadership represents a distilled application of principles and practices borrowed from other disciplines, with few reports of research from the library field. Conceived as a companion to The Next Library Leadership (Libraries Unlimited, 2003), Making a Difference includes not only a discussion of effective attributes, but of issues central to the development of leadership qualities, strategies, and dispositions. Essential reading for anyone interested in advancing the quality of leadership within LIS, particularly academic librarians in or aspiring to positions of managerial leadership.
