The Librarian as Community Leader - 2011 ARSL Conference.pdf
Innovation never comes from established institutions.
~ Eric Schmidt
What will kill our profession is not ebooks, Amazon, or Google,
but a lack of imagination.
~ R. David Lankes
You can’t allow tradition to get in the way of innovation.
There’s a need to respect the past, but it’s a mistake to revere your past.
~ Bob Iger
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
~ Albert Einstein
Managers are people who do things right;
Leaders are people who do the right thing.
~ Warren Bennis
Managers get credit for two things: innovation and marketing.
~ Peter Drucker
You manage things, you lead people.
We went overboard on management and forgot about leadership.
~ Grace Hopper
But reading is still the main way that I both learn new things
and test my understanding.
~ Bill Gates
If folks don't know what the library does,
it's because the library staff hasn't told them.
So . . . what do I do now - A Work Plan for the Library Director (2016).pdf
