Title: Rethinking leadership roles for the academic library : the attitudes of library staff towards a leadership-driven academic information service enterprise
Abstract: Present day business enterprises engage all staff members in leadership
roles so as to ensure the sustainability of such an enterprise. A
leadership driven enterprise focuses on both the operational leadership
structures, which address urgent leadership roles, and other leadership
structures which are essential for the sustainability of the enterprise. In
the past, some leadership roles were often neglected since the focus fell
mostly on the performance of urgent leadership roles pertaining to
operational output. This article reports on the results of an investigation
into the attitude of staff towards a shared leadership model in terms of its
value to the academic information service enterprise, the satisfaction
gained by staff performing voluntary leadership roles that do not form
part of their job description and the value experienced by these staff
members.
