The Leading Libraries series covers four leadership capabilities for collaborative and distributed leadership practice. These were developed from the core ideas covered in 'The 21st Century Public Servant' [Needham, C., & Mangan, C. (2014).
The 21st century public servant. Birmingham: University of Birmingham].
The four capabilities are:
Leading for Resilience
Leading for Dialogue
Leading for Inclusion
Leading for Innovation
These materials were produced in 2020/21 for the Leading Libraries Programme by The Birmingham Leadership Institute at the University of Birmingham. Leading Libraries was commissioned by Libraries Connected in partnership with CILIP (including the BAME network), CLOA and LGA. The Leading Libraries training is supported by Arts Council England through its National Lottery funded Transforming Leadership programme.
The materials include some images from third parties. These are detailed in this List of Images Used
