Coaching in the Library; American Libraries, February 2010

Ruth Metz, American Libraries; Coaching in the Library:

A professional coach can help leaders and staff up their game in dealing with an ever-changing environment and shrinking resources:

"The greatest challenge to library organizations is to continuously adapt in an ever-changing, ever-more-complex environment. Library leaders need to direct the continuous redevelopment of libraries. The ability to tackle this and other institutional challenges effectively is fundamental to the success of leaders and the survival of libraries. One way to achieve this is through the use of coaching."
