LIANZA Statement on LeadershipLIANZA acknowledges that there is an urgent need to identify and develop future leaders in the library and information profession. LIANZA is committed to fostering and encouraging future leaders.
LIANZA supports emerging leaders through a number of channels, and at a number of stages throughout their career.
LIANZA believes that:
1. There are distinct differences between the roles of managers and leaders.
2. Leaders can come from anywhere in an organisation and may not necessarily hold senior positions.
3. Leadership competencies such as adaptability, self-awareness, strategic thinking and ability to network are vital. These may sit outside traditional core LIS skills.
4. Librarians should be supported to develop leadership skills by their profession, employer and colleagues.
5. The Library and information profession has a responsibility to recognise and encourage emerging leaders. LIANZA recognizes that this may attract a cost, both financial and in terms of time, however LIANZA believes that it is critical to develop leadership skills.
6. Opportunities to foster and develop leadership skills will be provided by LIANZA in a range of formats and delivery modes to ensure that a range of library and information professionals are able to engage, regardless of physical location, domestic situation and organisation.
